Hi Everyone, if you've visited my blog in May, you would have seen this card I sent a month early. Well, I had to make it up to her and made sure I sent a birthday card on time.
I'd had this gorgeous digital image of a Gnome, that I decided to use. I took him into Silhouette, (you know I hate fussy cutting!) and cut the whole layer out, then cut him out with the foreground flowers. Next, he was printed out to fit a 5x7inch card, I had also added the greeting below him. The layer was then placed onto green card and attached to the base card. The other cut layers were then attached.
I also cut the sentiment from Silhouette, I coloured it to match with DI ink and placed it onto the white shadow layer and attached it onto the card. I thought it needed more, but didn't want to detract from the lovely image, so die cut 3 butterflies and placed them to the side of the Gnome. Shame the layers don't show up in the photo.

Remember that Faith, better than me thought, just found one for a friends Birthday which was Monday, all hidden away in a spare room where all my stash is whilst craft room redecorated.
Gnomes always makes you smile and this is lovely.

Such a fun and lovely card, Faith.
What a precious little gnome and a beautiful little card. You are amazing with the things you create using your Silhouette machine! Well done!
Beautiful card, Faith! That gnome is one of the prettiest I have seen and I's sure the recipient loved her "on time" birthday card.
Love the colors of the sweet image and how kind of you to send her another card!
Great card Faith, I love the cute gnome.

Gnometastic fun card and insert:-)
Super cute! Love me some gnomes and this guy is awesome!
Your decision to use a digital image of a gnome adds whimsy and charm to the card design, and the meticulous cutting and layering techniques result in a beautifully detailed composition. The addition of a carefully crafted sentiment, colored to match with Distress Ink, and delicate butterflies enhance the overall appeal of the card without overshadowing the focal image.
By the time I would get my scan n cut sorted I would have had my image cut already lol. Technology in that thing gets the better of me every time. I love your gnome though, a real cutie!
