Sunshine .....

Made this simply colourful Rainbow card ....

I used a 6 x 6 inch card blank and cut a smaller white matt which I stamped with a large pencils stamp in Versafine black ink.

I then coloured the pencil points and drew coloured lines using a selection of Prismacolour pencils. The matt was applied on yellow card and trimmed out.

The sentiment which reads 'Sending You Sunshine and Rainbows' was stamped on white card with more Versafine black ink, trimmed out, matted on yellow card and coloured with a rainbow selection of Ecoline Brushpens.  The background was applied to the card blank and the sentiment panel applied on foam pads to finish the card ......

Gnomes ......

Made this cute Gnomes card .....

I used a 6 x 6 inch white card base.....

I then stamped the Gnomes (Aall & Create) and mushroom in Memento black ink on white card and coloured these with Copic markers & Posca pen adding some Glossy Accents on the noses and spots on the mushroom.

I then die-cut an archway panel in more white card and coloured this with green and blue Distress ink and water to form a matt. This was layered onto a piece of mustard card which was stamped at the base with the leaves (Aall & Create) in green Archival ink. The gnomes and mushroom were applied over the coloured arch and mustard card (some on foam pads) and the card trimmed around to leave a mustard border around the gnomes. This was then matted onto black card and a series of white dots added in Posca pen to surround the images. The 'Garden Gnome' banner was stamped in Versafine black ink on white card, trimmed out and applied as shown.

The black panel was then added to the card blank and some black & white Washi tape applied at the sides to finish .....
