Whiff of Joy Sneak Preview - To gno-me is to love me

Good morning everyone and hope that you are having a relaxing Sunday. Today I'd like to show you another card that I've made using the gorgeous gnome images that will be released by Whiff of Joy 1st March.


For my card I've used the adorable 'Delivering my heart to you' and I've coloured it using my ProMarker pens.


The DP is also from Whiff of Joy and I was very brave and used my sewing machine. I think it might be broken though because for some reason I can't get a straight line ;0)

On my card I've also used the Magical Tag, Heart Lace Border die and button twine all from Whiff of Joy.

 The sentiment I created using Adobe Illustrator and if you want to download it, please go to my sentiments freebie page.


Challenges I'm entering this card into are as follows :-

 Friday Sketchers - Sketch

Whiff of Joy Sneak Preview - Good Luck Gnome

Good morning and hope that you are all having a wonderful weekend. Today I'd like to show you another preview this time using one of the gorgeous images illustrated by the very talented Norma Fickel.


With St Patricks Day only a few weeks away I thought that this adorable image would be ideal for this celebration that we have here in Ireland (and also a few other countries ;0) any excuse for a party, lol) and I've coloured Good Luck Gnome using my Promarker pens.



The DP I've had for some time so I'm afraid I can't remember the name.

I've created a sentiment using Adobe Illustrator and then I've used the Magical Tag die from Whiff of Joy to cut it out.
