Garden Gnome

Hi Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I have a quick share for you today featuring a Gnomie from Laurie Furnell Designs.  Let me start by saying, I'm really highlighting the color Purple these days.  My last 2 projects featured Purple (can you tell it's my favorite color?)


This is a black/white line image from her Garden Gnomes set (which I think now only includes pre-colored images).  I've colored Mr. Gnome using Prismacolor Pencils and the patterned papers are from a Spellbinders card kit.


The sentiment is from another Spellbinders card kit and the sequins are from my stash.  The focal panel has been trimmed using a perforated edge die from Alina Craft.

I couldn't resist coloring him with pastel, spring-like colors.  I think many across the country cannot wait for Spring to arrive.  That's all for today friends, have a great day.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
