Patriotic Gnomie

Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a sweet little patriotic card with the latest Jaded Blossom release. I'm feeling like a couple of stamp companies targeted me and my pocketbook this month with their releases. Haha! Gnomes + a patirotic theme... I could not resist.  And then Scrappy Boy Stamps just released a coffee set and an HK inspired set. I mean really, they literally jumped into my cart as soon as I saw them. LOL

Anyhow, I used several fabulous new products with this month's release.  Adding to the Gnome Die collection, comes the Gnome Dies: Patriotic Add-ons. I love that there are so many images you can use with or without the gnomes. I had so much fun piecing this guy together and doing some simple ink blending for his skin and beard.

The background is smooshed with red and blue inks, then I used this month's freebie, Happy Fourth of July for the fireworks and stars. I cut a frame from some fireworks paper in my stash, then added it all together. The sentiment is from the Stars & Stripes Candies set, and stamped onto one of the star dies from the Patriotic Gnomes.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic day!
