Snail's Pace Digital Image from Polkadoodles

 

The "Craze" that's really popular now is anything  with gnomes!  Well Polkadoodles has a new line of Gnomes that are SO amusing and you can find them here. 

The one that I've used in this card is called "Snail's Pace".    This image also comes in colored digital individually as well as in a bundle of other gnomes.  I added some cobblestones for her to walk on by use of a stencil and also added a subtle background that looks like green vines using a stencil for that also.  A Butterfly embellishment was added to the corner for dimension.  While I added a distressed paper in the inside, I haven't yet added a sentiment as it's so versatile:  Birthday, snail mail, get well soon, etc...  Thanks for checking Polkadoodles out-they're Great!

New Release Time at All Dressed Up--It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

I'm so excited to be using this new image of Wendy Burns' from All Dressed Up for the Debut of the New Release for December!  It's so warm and cozy and will be going out to a special couple for the Holiday from my Hubby and me.  I just love it!
I used a vintage like package paper in the background and used sheer ribbon on the corners to look like IT was a package!  After coloring with Copics, I matted the image with a bright green glitter paper-I'm sorry the light isn't picking it up very well.  I used a Christmas stamp from KKS and added a pearl accent on the sentiment.  On the inside I used a favorite Cable Knit sweater paper for one side and on the other side, the present paper again.  I used another KKS stamp and accented it with a snowflake. 
There are always 4 new release stamps for the month and this months are so adorable-be sure and check them out on the Challenge.  Be sure to add your entry to the challenge-you get a chance to win some of Wendy's great images.  We can't wait to see your creations!
