poppystamps Nordic Dancing Gnome and Large Mushroom House Be Merry Card…

Time for a cute card!  Something to make you think of cooler temperatures!  That’s how we’re feeling here in steamy Iowa! Can you say Summer?!

I had fun making these NEW poppystamps dies up…die cutting, inking, gluing, arranging and spattering.  Here’s the card! lol

I die cut the lower mushroom parts in kraft cardstock and inked with Gathered Twigs Regular Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

The upper mushroom is die cut in white cardstock and inked with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink using an ink blending brush and aged with regular Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool. The smoke in white and inked with Hickory Smoke Oxide ink.

The trees and the gnome are all die cut in Neenah Classic Crest White cardstock and inked with Oxide inks and blending brushes….

hat with Peeled Paint (less pressure to get the lighter part)

flesh parts are Tattered Rose with a hint of Vintage Photo on the edges

trees are Rustic Wilderness with a little bit of white showing here and there and those spots inked with Peacock Feathers

Backgound panel is Neenah Classic Crest White inked with Peacock Feathers, spattered with water droplets, let it dry

be merry is die cut in white also, back layer inked with Peacock Feathers and spattered with water droplets also, white layer glued on top

Panel is glued to a 5 x 7 cardbase, mushroom house adhered with my favorite thin mounting tape, trees glued directly to the card, gnome and sentiment adhered with thin mounting tape.

Last step was spattering with white drawing ink.

His belt buckle is colored with a gel pen and I added a few clear fairy drops.

I hope he makes you smile!  It’s so cute!  A happy card that makes me happy too!
