Go Away

Greetings! It's Gnome-Vember over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. I've created a snarky card with the Gnome Go Away Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs. You might think he's crude and rude. I think he's funny, sad about the end of daylight savings time, and needs some time to chill. Kind of Definitely like me.

Here's my card.

Instructions:

1. Create a 5" x 7" card from Raven (black) cardstock. Set aside.
2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp  Gnome Go Away onto white cardstock.
3. Fussy-cut the Gnome Go Away.
4. Color him with Copic markers, edge him with a black marker, and set him aside. He'll be perfectly happy on his own and will use that time to meditate.
5. Cut a panel of Bristol Paper with the Dreamy Manor Die Set 66.
6. Use Pitt Artist Pens and the Silver Ingot Metallic marker to color the die-cut.
7. Adhere patterned white vellum to the reverse of the Dreamy Manor die-cut to cover the windows.
8. Smoosh Grass Green VersaFine Clair Ink onto white cardstock.
9. Tear three times and edge the torn top of each strip with Oasis Green VersaFine Clair Ink.
10. Use the gate die to cut white cardstock. 
11. Color the gate die-cut with Silver Ingot Metallic marker.
12. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 5" x 7" to create the background panel.
13. Place the Cloud Stencil towards the top of the white cardstock and sponge London Fog, then Lulu Lavender Memento Ink over the top of the stencil onto the background panel.
14. Rotate the stencil, move it downwards, and sponge London Fog and Lulu Lavender Memento Inks over the stencil onto the background panel.
15. Repeat Step 12 until the panel is covered with ink and looks like a cloudy sky.
16. Layer the three green strips of paper onto the bottom of the background panel.
17. Adhere the Dreamy Manor Die-cut to the background panel.
18. Adhere the silver fence die-cuts to the bottom of the background panel.
19. Trim the background panel to 4.75" x 6.75". **
20. Use foam adhesives to adhere the gnome over the fence and house die-cuts, taking care to cover the Memory-dex holes with the gnome. 
21. Choose three sentiments from the Sharp Tongues 4 White Ephemera, color with the Light Indigo Pitt Artist Pen, and edge with a black marker.
22. Adhere the sentiments to the top left, not as shown. Make them straight. Unlike mine. Which are crooked. Alas.
23. Use a scissor blade to distress and tatter the edges of the background panel.
24. Apply Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to the tattered edges.
25. Adhere the background panel to the reserved black 5" x 7" card.

I hope you get a chance to play with our Gnome-Vember Challenge 191!

Notes:

• Products marked with asterisks (*) are hot linked and can be purchased at Topflight Stamps.
• When I trimmed the cardstock, my trimmer did not cut cleanly.  Hence I resorted to tattering/distressing the edges to camouflage the wonky cuts.
