Have A Sweet Birthday

I must say I do find it funny that I make all these cards but I'm so bad about sending them out or making a card when I really need to.

My good friend Elena's birthday was on April 6th and I'm seeing her tomorrow for lunch but I've only just got around to making her a card. I don't feel like I can give her a card that she may have seen on Facebook already, because she'll know it wasn't made especially for her.

She doesn't follow my blog and she's not on Instagram so I safe to load the card today and then after I see her I can load the card on Facebook.

I hope she likes it.

Below is  list of the supplies I used to make this card.

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Baked With Love

Gnome Place But Home

Hello, I hope your keeping well.

I finally broke out the Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set from Lawn Fawn that I have had for awhile but never used.

I did lots of masking, did a distress ink background and then coloured the stamped images with Copic markers.

I took several pictures along the card making process. The first one shows all the make on the panel and the distress background is done. The second picture shows all the masks have been removed and the third picture shows the colouring has been completed.

I decided to use a piece of gingham design paper as the background to the panel and placed the panel on foam tape to give just a little dimension to the card.

Here is the finished card.

below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card.

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Gnome Sweet Gnome
Ink: MFT Stamps - Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, Versafine - Onyx Black,  Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass & Mowed Lawn
