I made this card for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity "Festive Fun" challenge that is going on for the last half of November. I used the Pompom Gnome stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the Dear Santa clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda.
I started by going through my stash of Christmas papers and selecting some in the traditional red, green and white Christmas colors. I then cut thin strips of each paper I had chosen and glued them to a piece of white card stock. When I was done I had a piece more than twice this size so will have some left over for another project. I trimmed up the edges then using my sewing machine stitched around the border. I then layered this with a white card base.
Next I stamped my gnome onto white card stock with black ink and colored his suit and hat red, his nose pink, and his shoes black. I cut him out and glued him to my card front as shown, and then attached a pompom to the tip of his Santa hat. I stamped my sentiment with black ink onto white paper, and because my card is rather narrow, I reduced the size on my printer and printed out a copy which I then cut out and outlined with black ink. I affixed this to the upper portion of my card front, and that's a wrap!
Come join the "Festive Fun" on the Portal for a chance to win some free stamps!
