Hula Dancing Gnome

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I have a quick share today featuring an adorable Hula Dancing Gnome from Stamping Bella. I couldn't resist this digital image, and though I'm not one who uses Gnome images frequently, this guy is cute and I'm happy I have him.


After coloring him with Copic Alcohol Markers, I fussy cut him and added foam pads for dimension.  The patterned papers are from the "Summer" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella, which I've had in the stash for a couple of years.  The sentiment is included in the digital set and I've cut it using a stitched nesting die from Kat Scrappiness.  It has been mounted on foam pads as well.


Lastly, I've added Gold Dazzles to highlight the sentiment.  He was a fun and quick color; I can't get over his middle aged "spare tire".  My husband commented this could be him in a grass skirt.  At least he said it, and not me!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Aloha Forever

Happy Sunday Friends!  I have a quick share for you this afternoon featuring a Tropical theme.  I felt like being creative today but didn't feel like getting out loads of supplies for stamping, coloring and etc.  I set about rummaging through my stash to see what I could use and found some puffy stickers.


I purchased several puffy sticker packs at the Dollar Tree a few years ago, when things were STILL a $1...instead of the current $1.25.  I thought they were cute and I would use them on scrapbook layouts (which I've yet to make) or sharing with swap friends.  Instead, they ended up in a drawer.


I used a small acrylic block and Catherine Pooler Inks to create the background.  I applied the ink to the stamping block, spritzed with water and "stamped" the color on the panel.  I splattered Dina Wakely Black Spray Ink and once all was dry, I applied the stickers.

To finish it off, I've adhered color shifting sequins and Calypso Blue Twine; both from Fun Stampers Journey.  This card was quick and easy - I never broke a sweat!  

Have a fantastic week ahead and until next time, Happy Crafting!
