Craft Challenge Blog #757

 Hi friends!

I am here with this week's card for CRAFT Challenge Blog.

The theme is Cute or Anything Goes.

The sponsor is: The Paper Shelter and the design I am using is: Gnome with a Daisy

 When you download the file, they provide a design already colored and one that you can color yourself. Normally, I color myself but I really loved the colors they chose and used that.

I used Silhouette's Print and Cut feature to print the gnome out and the Cameo cut it out for me. I cut out a hexagon for the background. I stenciled cute shaped on to the background using a metallic ink to give it a little shimmer. I used gold splatter paint over the whole panel. I attached the gnome with adhesive foam for dimension. The sentiment is stamped and set with white embossing powder.

CRAFT Challenge Blog #723: Sports/Transport

 Hi Friends!

Today I am telling you about this week's CRAFT Challenge Blog theme of Sports/Transport. The sponsor is Polkadoodles and the design I chose is Golf Cart Gnome which was an easy choice as it fits both the Sports and Transport options. 

I brought the image into Silhouette Studio and used the trace option to get a trace on the image and cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo. 

I used colored pencils and Gamsol to color the gnome.

I used Distress Oxide on the background for the sky.

I used a stencil to make some clouds in the distance in the sky in the same color. 

I used watercolor pencil to draw some hilly grass for the golf course and the flag.

I wanted to add some whimsical clouds and used dies to make those. I colored them the same color as the sky. I didn't want them to be a blaring white as I want the gnome to stand out in the scene. I also added a sun. 

I stamped a sentiment. 

I added some white whimsy marks, as I call them, using a white gel pen. 

All done!
