Tomte Christmas Carols by Penny

Goodly morning peeps, I hope you are all well and not too wet lol!  It's my turn to share some craftiness with you today, another of my June CB samples.  Like my teamies I absolutely loved the set of Gnomes stamps and this was the first card I made with them.

Tomte Christmas Carols.

  I used stamps from the A Tomte Christmas and A Christmas Flourish sets; CB Masking Tissue, CB Luxury Smooth White paper, alcohol pens, Distress Ink, fluffy fake snow, a die, a stencil and an embossing folder from my stash and some silver gilding wax.     

I stamped a large gnome onto the smooth paper in grey Versafine ink, masked the image and stamped it twice more to create a group.  I removed the masking tissue then coloured the images in.

I took a die from my stash and cut a vintage style lamp post out of black card.  I also cut a single lantern and added silver gilding wax to the lamps.  I stamped some candles from the Christmas Garden set onto another piece of card.  I coloured the images and cut around them, then attached them to the back of the lamps.

I took a stencil from my stash and added rays of light with yellow DI.  I used the embossing folder with a piece of black card to create a border for the focal panel which I highlighted with silver wax.  I then attached the panel.  On spare card I stamped and embossed two sentiments then cut around them.  I attached them to the card and added some music notes, a single lantern hanging from a shepherds crook made from black card and some fluffy snow.

Santa Gnome's Bauble

I took a papier mache bauble from my stash and painted it both sides with dark blue and white acrylic paints to creat a snowy nightime scene.  I then took a piece of smooth white paper and stamped and embossed two images of gnomes, one with a reindeer and one with a sleigh.  I coloured them with alcohol pens then fussy cut them.   

I added some falling snow by dipping the end of a paint brush into white paint and dotting it randomly over the sky.  I added some glitter to the snow and attached the stamped images, one on each side.

Thank you for dropping in today, I hope that I've given you a few ideas for your Christmas makes!
I shall be back next month with some more crafty fun, in the meantime check out the projects of my teamies on this blog.

Take care,
