Hello my friends! Hope all is well. Marj here sharing with you another project inspiration using AlexSyberiaDesign Digital Stamp for Clever Dexter Challenge. This month's challenge Theme is Celebration. We all know that we can't afford to celebrate with a lot of members of the family as well as with our friends but even though we can't we still have to celebrate even this trying times.
To create this card, I started by using my Cricut Explore 2 and opened up Cricut Design Space and uploaded the Valentine Gnome Digital Stamp. This stamp is designed for slimline card and that's what I decided to do and adjusted the size for a little bit. After resizing to my desired size I printed it to a White Cardstock from Cardstockwarehouse and then cut it out.
Next, I focused on what color to use for the cutie Gnome. I decided to go on a rainbow color as it coordinates with Celebration Theme and that brings out the celebration in every occasion. Who doesn't love rainbow? First, I started to color on each hat then the hair, beard and clothing. I thought it will be difficult to color them but it was fun and easy using my Arteza Ever Blend Markers. Did I mention, I super love this markers? They are affordable and easy to blend too!
Next, I cut a piece of 3.5 x 7 inches card base from DCWV Confetti Patterned Paper for background. Then, I cut another piece of Pink Cardstock of Recollections by Michaels as my card panel.
It's assemble time! I added a strong glue to the card base then adhered to the card panel. Next, I cut 5 long strips of paper to adhere at the lower back of the Gnome Digital Stamp and then cut some more strips for the hat and then added some foam tape to the tip to have stability. For most of my projects, always look for some strips to use as it is so economical and sturdy as well instead of foam tape but I still use some foam tape. For my sentiment, I used Happy Birthday from Stampin' Up Endless Birthday Wishes Stamp Set and stamped it to a white cardstock strip from Cardstockwarehouse using Scrapbook.com Black Hybrid Inkpad. Lastly, to add some dimension, I added Arteza Glitter Gel Pens to the hat and added some Pink Glitter Sequins and we're done!
