Spring Greetings with Simon Says Stamp "Spring Gnomes"

Hello and welcome!

I have a fun spring card for you today featuring the "Spring Gnomes" stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, a little ink blending, coloring and stenciling.  Here's a close up view:

The image and sentiment are from Simon Says Stamp Spring Gnomes stamp set, stamped in black and heat embossed in clear.  The gnome was colored with Zigs Clean Color Markers and a Nuvo water brush, then a little touch ups with colored pencils.  I used a mask to ink blend "Squeezed Lemonade" Distress Ink on the inside of an oval shape for the background.  

I used Tim Holtz "Dot Fade" stencil with Cosmic Shimmer Ultra Sparkle Paste in "Frosty Sparkle" and a domed ink blender to add a little sparkly texture to the background.  The gnome was fussy cut out and popped up on foam tape.  Here's a few more pictures:

I have linked my supplies below if you are interested in them.

Hope you like my sweet Spring gnome card for today!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
