Happy April Fool's Day

A new month, a new card to share with everyone, featuring a wonderful digital image from KLM Designs!!  This is a new image and is part of the newest release - Woman Farmer Gnome!  Even the sentiment is from KLM Designs!

I colored the image with Inktense pencils, then fussy cut it out and popped it up on the card base.  I printed out the sentiment on smooth white cardstock, then used Distress inks and My Favorite Things stencils to create the clouds and hill.  The cows are cut with the First Edition Farmyard dies!

A New Chapter Begins

Good morning from snowy British Columbia, Canada, and welcome back to my blog!!!  Yes we still have lots of snow here, it has been the snowiest year in recent history - 374 cm of snow fell on the Kootenay Pass in January alone!!!  It will take awhile for it all to melt!

I have exciting news to share!!  I am joining the KLM Designs Emporium Design Team in April and am so thrilled to be part of their team.  I found there digital images just a short time ago, and just had to color up one of the adorable gnomes - and this card is what started it all!!!

Isn't he just the cutest thing!  This is Handyman Gnome that is printed on Copic Xpress It cardstock and colored with Copics, with just a hint of white Prismacolor pencil for the highlights.  The awesome sentiment is from an older Technique Tuesday set, and the Tools Frame die is from Find It.  

I can't wait to showcase more of KLM's wonderful images, so stayed tuned!
