A True Treasure

Hello!

I loved the idea of this gnome popping in on someone looking at this vintage map. It just seemed like a pirate-y thing to do. I'm still loving these playful gnomes. Their antics are just so fun.

To finish this card off I used some chocolate brown ink to sponge the edge of the card. I thought it aged the map a bit.

This bottom one was colored with prismacolor pencils and gamsol

It is another month and time for a new Technique Junkies release. This release is full of humor. I have a sister and could immediately could relate to this stamp. I love my sister, but we drive each other nuts.

I wanted to create a modern look for this card. I stenciled a square, off center to create a focal point for the card. I placed the elements on either side to balance off the design.

I hope you will stop by and check out all the other talented designers (linked below). All the stamps are on sale until the 8th. There are some great images and sentiments to add to your collection.
