Gnomes and a Card

            This is a rare Sunday post. I have been down with a cold and didn’t remember to post a card on Friday. With tomorrow being Christmas Eve day I decided to post today instead.

        I was feeling just well enough today that I didn’t want to lie on the couch and it was too cold in the lower studio (aka the basement) so I decided to try to make some gnomes….and no, I have no idea why, I just felt like making gnomes.

        Here’s the first one I made.

 

It turned out not too bad but I decided the nose was too small.

So here’s the second one I made.

 

        I think the nose to too large! He has feathers and buttons on the side of his hat. 

        It’s back to the drawing board if I decide to make any more.

        Here is the last Christmas card for this year.

 

         A cute little bird card which was coloured with pencils and blended with gamsol. The ovals are Spellbinder’s dies and the blue cardstock is from the stash. The tag is from a Little B die and the sentiment is a peel-off. The background paper is from the stash. To pick up the red in the hat, the card was glued to a red card base. A quick and easy card.

        That’s all the posts for 2018. With Christmas week being so busy there will be no more postings on this blog until next year – that’s only 9 or 10 days away though!

        So Merry Christmas to all who celebrate this occasion and for those that do not, I wish you a wonderful week. To all I wish for you a happy, safe, and healthy 2019.

   Cheers

Violet
