Today I'm playing with one of my Trinity Stamps gnome stamp sets, it from the latest easter release, All Cracked Up. But I want to bust that gnomie out of this shell! To do that I will be doing a bit of easy no line coloring. And then this gnome can be free to experience new things. And today that is a latte!
If you can not see the video up on this screen you can also view it on my YouTube channel.
Using some Antique Linen Distress ink to ink up my Gnome allowed me to do some No-Line coloring of this image and omit the egg shell all together. The top of the shell has now become the new bottom of his beard. I just had to soften the lines out a bit with a more curved edge. I used Copic Markers for my coloring today, but you can do no-line coloring with any medium that you like. Some high lights with a gelly roll pen really helped add some dimension to this no line colored image
I cut out the gnome instead of die cutting to help remove all remnants of the egg shell. Then my gnomie was ready to be popped up on anything, peeking up out of whatever I could imagine. So why not a latte?
For my latte I used the Summertime Sips die set from Trinity Stamps. Which is a great die set to make icy drinks, but I altered the dies a bit to make this warm latte.
The two stamped sentiments I used are from the Frappy Camper stamp set. I added in die cut letters to spell out GNOMIE using the Graham Cracker alphabet die set.
I love that this gnome can now be used in so many ways with this technique. If you are interested in any of the things I used to make today's card they are listed and linked for you below.
