Flower Pot Gnome – Girl!

Feb6

Today I’m sharing a Thank You card using KLM Digital Design – Flower Pot Gnome – Girl from the new February 2024 release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “You are loved” and “Carry on with courage“.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I had created a 5.5″ x 4.25 frame around the image before printing it out with a HP Printer. I also printed out a second image onto plain photocopy paper and fussy cut around it. The image was coloured in with the Copics listed below and then I attached the mask that I had created out of the plain paper over top of the coloured image. Using some stencils that I had created previously with Avery Elle – Pierced Clouds Dies and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salty Ocean, I created the clouds with a blender brush. Once this was done, I coloured in the grass. The image was then cut to the size of 5.5″ x 4.25 and attached with double-sided tape to a card base of the same size using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.

Sunny Days Ahead

Apr8

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Sunny Days Ahead – P004 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). I searched to find colours that represented each word going around the image and found the following: Faith – Pink, Courage – Red, Hope – Blue and Victory – Purple and so this is how I coloured this image. I believe these words speak for themselves and in the days to come, we will all see the sun shining brighter days upon us all.

The card base is 5″ x 5″. I layered each of the papers and coloured image on black cardstock to pop the colours. I chose the paper of the children holding hands to represent the day when we can all get back to normal and hold hands and play together with our loved ones again. The chain link patterned paper represents how we are all linked together in doing our part to stay strong and healthy, and to give each other the hope, faith and courage to be victorious in the sunny days ahead. I popped up the final layer with 3M VHB – 2 sided tape and added in some black pop dots to complete this card.
