Hello!
I am back with another last-minute Valentine card using products from Polka Dot Orchard.
I printed the gnomes and sentiment from the Polka Dot Orchard Gnome Matter What digital stamp set onto white cardstock. I colored them using Prismacolor colored pencils. Specific colors are below:
Skin: Nectar, Peach, and Light Peach
Beard/mustache: 20% Warm Grey, 10% Warm Grey, and White
Hair: Black, 90% French Grey, and 70% French Grey
Shoes: Black, 90% French Grey, and 70% French Grey
Male gnome clothes: Peacock Green, Grass Green, True Green, Denim Blue, True Blue, Non-Photo Blue, Pomegranate, Process Red, and Hot Pink
Female gnome clothes: Pomegranate, Process Red, Hot Pink, 20% Warm Grey, 10% Warm Grey, and White
Coffee cups: Light Umber, Beige Sienna, Seashell Pink, Pomegranate, and Process Red
Letters: Pomegranate, Process Red, and Hot Pink
I fussy cut around the gnomes and sentiments with my scissors and set them aside to work on the rest of the card.
I dug through my stash and found a heart embossed pink cardstock panel to use as a background. Next, I used a retired My Favorite Things Stitched Designer Octagon STAX die and my Sizzix Big Shot and magic mat to cut a panel from kraft cardstock. I used Walnut Stain Distress Ink and the Stampabilities Faded Text Background stamp to stamp the panel for some interest. I also used the retired Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scalloped Heart dies to cut out a white heart.
I glued all of my layers/elements to a white A2 card base using Art Glitter Glue. I then added some pink sequins. For some extra sparkle, I added Diamond Stickles to the centers of the sequins.
That's it! I hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to create.
Happy crafting!
Kelsey
