Using a piece of New Super Smooth White Card 350gsm I made a square card blank measuring 5x5 inches. I then used a square die and a piece of Cherry Red Plain Card 240gsm to die cut a scalloped square. Using the next size die down I die cut another square using New Super Smooth White Card 350gsm and this is the one we will be inking on with our stencil.

I then used a 5x5 die and die cut a larger square using Mango Yellow Plain Card 240gsm that will go over the card base.

Using the reds. Cream and brown colours I die cut my mushroom home. This die also comes with flowers and a little snail too.

I then started to die cut my flowers and snail using the colours listed above.

Using the stamps and piece of New Super Smooth White Card 350gsm I stamped my two gnomes. I then used my copic markers to colour these in. I then fussy cut them out with a pair of scissors and placed these aside. Next I used the stencil and some distress inks to create a sky. I then added the grass using the gorgeous Sage Green Pure Pearl Single Sided Card 300gsm. This green is so pretty it’s almost got gold specks in it.

I then started adhering the card together, and adhered my card front to the card base. I then added the mushroom and gnomes.

Once all my pieces were on my card I added the greeting. I used the beautiful Egyptian Blue Plain Card 240gsm. I heat embossed a greeting using white embossing powder and heat set this with my heat gun. The card is now complete!
