A Natural Gnome

Ah the gnome.   I think this is the sole reason that I wanted the Freshly Picked cartridge.   I cut him at 3 1/2" for this card.   The floral paper is from the Crate Paper Farmhouse collection.   I embossed the orange sheet with a Lifestyle Crafts folder and then trimmed it off on each side with some gold velvet ribbon.   The garden marker was cut by hand and then stamped the sentiment from Studio G. 

A Special Gnome

This gnome was for my niece for her BD.   The papers are from DCWV Green Stack.   I cut the gnome at 3 1/2" from Freshly Picked and then hand stamped the flag pole and added the sentiment from Studio G and trimmed it down to the flag shape of the stamp.   The 'trim' is actually a Martha Stewart punch that is a double sided border.   It turned out really cute with the border.
