I fell in love with this Lawn Fawn “Gnome Sweet Gnome” stamp set and was thrilled to have been able to pick it and the matching die set up in a destash for\u00a0one-third of the retail price! Unfortunately it has\u00a0been sitting unused in my stash all summer…until today!<\/p>\n

But to create the card that I envisioned that would play\u00a0off the red and blue gnomes of the movie, “Gnomeo and Juliet,” I needed a girl gnome. \u00a0What to do…. \u00a0Well, of course. I could draw a little girl digi gnome to share with all of you (available for\u00a0free download HERE<\/a><\/span>)!<\/p>\n

<\/a>These are the Copic colors I used to color up the happy couple:
\nSkin: E50, 51, 53; girl blush: R20; and boy blush: R30
\nWhite areas of boy’s beard, girl’s apron, and mushroom spots and base: C1
\nGirl’s hair: B000, C5, 7, 9, 10
\nGirl’s outfit: R22, 24, and 29
\nBoy’s outfit: B41, 34, 24 and 18
\nMushroom roof: R24 and 29
\nMushroom door and window ledge: E31, 33, and 37
\nMushroom windows: B000
\nGrass around mushroom house: YG07 and G09<\/p>\n

For the inside of the card, I knew I wanted to use the pun, “there’s gnome place I’d rather be” and use the mushroom house from the Lawn Fawn stamp set. But I wanted to kind of surround the little mushroom house with the words in a circle so I had to do a little research on how to do this in paint.net (the free digital editing software I use to make my digis). I found a great free plugin that had a circle text effect (and a lot of other cool effects) (HERE<\/a><\/span>), and I also downloaded this adorable free script font, called “mf I love glitter” (HERE<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

The following is a video share of this card:<\/p>\n
