I don't have many Christmas Characters in my stamps, but I do have this Gnome and I love him. He has a home too. I stamped the Gnome, then masked him and added his home, I masked that too and added the trees. They were coloured with DI's with some grey squiggles for snow shadows.
After some thinking that it was too CAS, I decided to do a faraway scene, by stamping the trees and adding a few white highlights to the trees, and colouring the sky. I made a mess of the part, where I added the fading sun. So added a circle, after I had coloured it and stamped the top of the tree onto it. Only then did I die cut the images. I then layered it onto a die cut burgundy colour paper, to make it all as "warm" as the sentiment, then added it all to the base card. I then decided it needed a little sparkle with a snow writer.

You "faraway scene" was a good idea as it works very well Faith and ties in the colours of the toadstool house perfectly.

Such an amazing snow scene Faith and I love the way you added warmth to it with that blazing sunset sky! It's got so cold here today we might be in for a bit of the white stuff soon! Vicky x
That is just adorable and you have given him a gorgeous wee scene Faith.
What a wonderful bright orange sky Faith and the added sun works perfectly, and love the cute gnome and house surrounded by the snowy trees, and some great shading and added glittery bits in the snow. I do have the gnomes freebie but hate to say I don't think I have ever used them..tut tut! x
Super cute! I like the perspective on this one! Of course, you know I love all things Gnomes!
Hugz,
