Hopping and Celebrating Sweet n Sassy Stamps' September Release!

Hello All!  


Well, time is certainly flying by and we are back in school- in person!  It is an exciting and busy time, and the kids are happy.  School nurse responsibilities have certainly changed since last year.  

We are hopping along, sharing lots of inspiration with the Sweet n Sassy Stamps September Release.  Goodness, so many marvelous Christmas sets!  Leave a little bit of love on each blog as you hop and you will have a chance to win a gift voucher to the SnSS store!  Comment by September 22, 10pm ET.  

These gnomes won my heart!  


I started with a sponged background  and then stamped trees in a like color ink.  I used the trees from the Thrill of Hope Stamp Set.  A bit of spattered white gouache finishes the snowy scene.  

Next, I stamped the adorable gnome from the Christmas Gnomes Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored him with Copics.  He was fussy cut out and popped up on a snow mound on dimensional tape.  The sentiment is from the new, Holiday Greetings Stamp Set.  

Then there is the tree trimming gnome~

 

This guy  is so adorable up on his tip toes!  I started out with colors like my first card, but they weren't working for me when I added the green tree and the yellow star.  The tunic had originally been blue and I added an olive green over it to end up with a great shade of brownish green- perfect for a gnome's tunic.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.   A bit of hemp twine finishes off this jolly scene! 

I am linking this card up to CAS  Christmas Card Challenge for their cas Christmas tree challenge.  

Check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of the team and don't forget to comment for a chance to win!

  18. Two adorable gnomes Lee Ann ... they made me smile! Your colouring is amazing on both cards. I LOVE the gnome up on his tippy-toes to add the star at the top of the tree! :) And you are right ... the blue with olive green colours make the perfect combination for his tunic. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
