Your Next Stamps August Release Instagram Blog Hop: Happy Gnomies

Very exciting Your Next Stamps August Release is available in the store today. Your Next Stamp is celebrating with an instagram hop and a sale. So join in the celebration over on instagram and a chance to win one of the three $20 gift certificates to YourNextStamp.com. In addition head on over to the YNS Creative Hub Facebook group for party games!

Also if you wish to know how I made the card you can read the details below on the blog and then head over to the instagram hop : )

The new stamp set “Happy Gnomies”along with the “Gnome Sweet Gnome” stamp set just screams SCENE to me.

Get the look:

Although it may look like this card involves a lot of masking, only the gnome required a mask.
I did create myself a little cheat sheet. Basically I stamped everything out on some scrap paper to visually see whether I liked the layout. Also the cheat sheet is a great guide for placing the stamps for stamping. (However it would be very easy to achieve the same look by die cutting and laying out stamped gnomes and scenery on card base.)
Follow the cheat sheet and stamp out the images. I wiped the little mouse off the mushroom before stamping, only because I wanted the gnome to be the focus. It wasn’t hard to draw in the little bit of mushroom that was missing.
Then draw in the hills and path to connect the scene together. Trust me I cannot draw, but hills are not hard. And although I wish I had made the path widen at the end for a better perspective it isn’t terrible.
Colour the scene with your Copics.
Die cut the whole scene with a circle die and draw a black line around the edge to create a border.
Now putting it together: stamp and die cut the hello from “Make some Noise” stamp set. Mount sentiment onto scene and mount scene onto A2 card base. I like some depth so I used crafters foam to make it stand off background.
