Hello...
Thought I'd pop in and share a couple more gnome cards with you...
I have so much fun relaxing and colouring these.. Ink blending, stamping, painting and splattering - Just a shame I can't pick up the sparkle
If you are wondering about the moon in the background... I do this after ink blending using a clean sponge on the ink blender tool, spray it with water lightly and swirl it on the background. It picks up the ink but doesn't give it that stark white effect. I guess it's down to preference.
And the second one...
It's so cold here right now and I won't be surprised if we see some snow soon too
I'm off to Ikea with hubby now... I can't say I like going there but it's cosy in the car that's for sure!
Have a great day
~ Ros ~
Edit... For everyone that asked about the stamp and dies used here... They're from AliExpress. There was a free set with a craft magazine sometime ago and also Apple Blossom crafts do a similar set... Hope this helps.

Cute cards, Ros. I really love them!!!!!!!
And thank you so much for the instructions on how you created this beautiful moon. Very inspiring idea. Hugs, my friend.
Ack, I love the gnomes! Your coloring on them is fantastic and your backgrounds -- wow! The moon hanging there looks so real. I will try your method as I was planning to do some moon cards. I don't have the ink blender tool, but I do have some largish sponge daubers. Your cards are not only fun, but beautiful, as well. Gee, wish we had an Ikea here.
Oh - please! Keep those gnomes coming! Love both your cards, that moon is amazing!
I'm loving your Gnomes and the super cards you have made with them. What make are they Ros? Clever idea with the sponge for the moon...might give that a whirl. Have a good week...been very wet and miserable here today. xx
Your gnomes are absolutely ADORABLE Ros!! I can see why you like coloring them...they are so cute and totally make me smile!! Who makes the stamps...I would love to check them out!

Really cute cards and I really do admire the little details , like the barely there moon and the way you've coloured the beards.
I had thought I had commented on the past few posts Ros and it appears I couldn't have pressed the send button! Please forgive me...it may have been the wine!! Who knows!! x
These gnomes are such fun and are adorable and so Christmasy. Love how you did the blending and the moon on your first card and thanks for letting us know how you did it. Such a cute face on gnome number two and he is looking like he is waiting for Christmas with all his heart. Wonderful how you've stamped the pine leaves x Great scene making on both of your beautiful cards Ros x
These are darling, Ros! Your moon is fabulous & I do love those big branches!
These gnome cards are so adorable. The scenes you created are wonderful, I love your moon, thanks for sharing how you did this, it looks so real!I know what you mean about the sparkle, it is hard to photograph, but I can see a bit of it. Wonderful cards Ros!
I am over the moon FOR that moon. So cool! I love those branches on the second card too. I know you used them on another gnome card. They just look so realistic. OK I've been seeing AliExpress stuff pop up in lots of blog posts. What is your opinion of their product?
Keep the gnomes coming! FABULOUS cards! THX for the moon technique! Good to know! LOVE the look!
