Hi, everyone! I have a second card to share today! I'm not into gnomes at all, but I decided to jump on the gnome bandwagon with this card! This fun gnome is enjoying a mug of hot cocoa.
I found a Christmas-themed 12x12" patterned paper pad at Dollarama this week. I was hesitant to buy it since the images and patterns are rather large, meant for scrapbooking, but there were some papers I liked with foiling, so I went for it. After I got it home, I spied this gnome and decided to fussy-cut him from the patterned paper, along with the gift. His hat and clothing are red foil, but it's hard to see in the photo. I circle-punched the snowflake and leaf from the same paper. I added Star Dust Stickles to the gnome's pompom and a pink gem on the gift, cup, and snowflake.
For the background, I did stencilling and embossing. First I embossed the white panel with Darice Snowflake Background and then stencilled some red snowflakes with Candied Apple Distress Oxide using Dreamweaver Snowflakes Stencil. I chose one of the small snowflakes for stencilling. I like the effect! Finally I adhered a self-made sentiment from Microsoft Word. Here are the embossing folder and stencil used:

Fabulous fun card, Kitty! Purchasing that paper was a great decision. The "Santa Gnome" is so bright and festive.
Fantastic card Kitty...I'm glad that you found a way to make the Gnome fit well on your card (your such a true crafter)....well done & TFS.
Oh so sweet!
Such a sweet card! Your gnome friend is a delight and I like the sweet and simple background you've created using our current technique/theme! Thanks for playing at Let's squash It! Jo x
This could not be any cuter!
I LOVE HIM! So clever getting use of the papers -- well done :)
You have done so well buying that paper block, my friend! This Santa looks so fun and sweet and I'm sure his shining is awesome in real life! Love the glittered pompom of the hat and the cute cup in his hands! Great take of Let's squash prompt! The stencilled snowflakes add interest to the embossed background! Fun sentiment too!
Big hugs (mugs) and kisses to you too! :D
He's a cute gnome. I love the sentiment. [Bunny]
He's a cute little gnome Kitty, dressed and ready for the season by the look of him... love the stripy red hat with the glittery pompom on the end. The embossed background looks great and I like that you added a few additional snowflakes in red, they really pop!
Cheers,

I got 3 smaller paper pads from $$rama and saw the 12 X 12 pad but thought it was too large, you saw it would work wtg. Super cute gnome and design.

Wonderful Gnome & hot cocoa card. Was not fond of Gnomes much until I saw how they are whimsically used.
