A Whimsical Gnome
I’ll admit I’ve never been a big fan of gnomes, but this little guy is just irresistable (in my opinion anyway). But then I love everything designed by Kim Hughes. She’s so talented… and just as sweet.
Whimsical Wishes
This little guy is from one of Kim’s most recent releases, Forest Friendzy. Such a cute set! I can’t wait to play with it some more.
The gnome was cut out and raised on pop dots. (I can’t seem to make a flat card. **shrugging** I like dimension.) I thought about popping up his nose/moustache but decided in the end that my shading turned out well enough. (Look at that cute face!! Hee, hee, hee! Don’t you just want one?)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
Oh, before I go…if you’re a fan of Shimmerz, Jacksonbelle Embellishments has the newest colors in stock and they’re on sale through Friday! (There’s one called Choc-o-lot. Mmmm.) 
Ok…bye!

Awww, he is adorable! Such a cute card! I kinda like gnomes myself…if they aren’t to tacky…you know the ones I mean!
I agree with you about Kim, she was kind and wished me a happy birthday a couple months ago, and I happened to win this set on her blog a couple weeks ago. Very sweet gal. I think you did a great job coloring him, I would have sworn you had 3D his face already. I havent had a chance to play with him yet, but I think he is the cutest gnome too!
Michele this is awesome, love it! I’m not a gnome person either, but I saw this guy the other day and thought the same thing, he IS cute! Kim H. must be super talented if she’s got me liking a gnome now, lol! Yeah, and I don’t do flat cards either.
I like how you did the brads/hemp, neat look!
I meant eyelets/hemp! lol
Love this Michele! That gnome and the colours are fantastic!!
This is just too cute. Definitely have to put this set on my wish list.
So cute Michele; I love how you work DP into your cards; you do such great work!!
ACK!!!!! I LUFF this!!! Gnomeys are so so cute and this card is the bestest!
Another winner, Michele - just awesome. As always, great colors and great embellishments.
He is so very sweet Michele…..I love gnomes on paper!! …..not in my garden so much…
Wowsa girl! You are just so incredible with those Copics! Love the colors and the sweet gnome! You rock!
I agree about gnomes…but this one is definitely an exception! Too cute, Michele!!
This is wonderful! I love seeing this little guy in all the warm earth tones! And your shading is absolutely incredible!!!

Oh my gosh Michele, this is SO cute! Eye have never seen such a darling gnome!
Your shading is just perfect, and I love the trio of clouds. I think I need to have this set…haven’t had any new KH rubber in quite some time. The hemp/brads trio is also just the perfect little embellishment as well!
BTW, you’ve been tagged by me…that darn Val from Cal made me do it!
