I happen to know that gnomes love gardens in the Fall. Today’s card began by embossing Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4,” with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder. After embossing, I used a Blending Brush to apply a gorgeous, Fall color, Crushed Curry. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. 

Fall Gnome

Next, it was time for the gnome to appear. I used Gnome Dies to cut his Basic White beard, Basic Black pants and shoes, Gingham Cottage Designer Paper hat in Pumpkin Pie, and his nose, colored with an Ivory Stampin’ Blend. I glued the four pieces together with a tiny amount of glue, and attached him with Dimensionals.

The gnome wanted to say a big “HELLO,” which I found in the Hello Harvest Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used a Harvest Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. The gnome didn’t mind that I added a Gingham Ribbon bow to his hat, because it matched his outfit. Also, I made it thinner by cutting the ribbon in half, which he thought was important.

I was inspired by TGIF.
