__________________________________________
To create this fun Christmas rainbow, slimline card, I printed the digital stamp on 110lb Neenah Solar White cardstock, and colored the image with a variety of copic markers. When I saw the 7 gnomes, I immediately thought about the 7 colors of the rainbow or the 7 dwarves, but a rainbow sounded more fun! To me, rainbows are my LBD. It’s good for all times and all seasons so the holidays are no different! With seven main colors in the rainbow and seven adorable gnomes – it was perfect!
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I love adding little details to make a piece extra special for the recipient. For this card, I loved playing with my copic opaque white ink (on my list of craft must-haves) to add details to the gnome beards and hair. I added Glossy Accents on each nose and added sparkle to something – the star, gift, or accessory – on each little gnome. I stretched my coloring skills to try and add a glow around each star that reflects on a nearby element and I added in folds or lumps to the gnome hats for added dimension. I still have a very long way to go, but little by little I am gaining confidence in my coloring. Lastly, to match the rainbow theme, I added some rainbow washi tape to the background. What an adorable stamp to color! I made several cards out of a variety of these wonderful holiday designs, so stay tuned to see the rest of them.
Have you started your holiday cards yet? Where are you finding holiday inspiration? After the hop, I think I will start so I can get them all done by the middle of December (fingers crossed!). If you liked this card or have any feedback, please let me know on here or on IG! If you’re inspired by my piece, please tag me so I can see what you create. Thanks & happy crafting!
