Card for Polly's (peeps321) Teaparty, In The Heart of Texas. You'll need to go there and read up on what gnomes have to do with the Heart of Texas!
Our recipients this week need some encouraging words, and maybe a chuckle or two. I sure hope my meditating gnome in the garden will bring them a chuckle, or at least an "Awww...!" After all, he is meditating on their situation, and is thinking good thoughts for them!
I printed the gnome digi on regular printer paper at 3.5x5". After I colored him, I ran the image thru the Xyron. Adhered it to a piece of cheap white CS, & fussy-cut it out. Used a black brush marker to go around the cut edges for definition.
The stencil is called "Mermaid Lagoon" but it does have STARS in it, so I thought it could pass for the sky.
It's hard to tell in the photo, but I added a bit of yellow from the gel pen to the flower center in the bubble, and also a bit to each of the flowers in the border. They really don't look like Texas bluebonnets, but they are blue...
TFL!
