I love this gorgeous little gnome from this A4 Garden Retreat stamp set, and I didn't get to use it on the cards I made for the magazine, so I just had to make a video with it :D I added in an adorable little fish from a Lawn Fawn stamp set, and created focal circles all over the card to help make the tiny gnome image fill the card :D For the background, I tried a new technique with my Distress Crayons, I've seen Barbara over at Joggles.com using some art crayons with a mini ink blending tool on her ATC's and Art Journals, and I just had to give her technique a try! So for this card I just used my white crayon through a Heidi Swapp stencil and then ink blended Distress Ink over the top :D Hope you liked the card and video :D
