Gnome one like you

I love good punny valentines, especially when they feature a couple of adorable gnomes.

Supplies:
Stamps: Oh Gnome! (Lawn Fawn)
Paper: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White card stock (Stampin' Up!); Pocket Blossom paper pad (DCWV)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko), Calypso Coral (Stampin' Up!), gold paint pen (Sharpie); alcohol markers - Warm Gray No 3 (Copic), Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Bronze, Nude (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories: Oh Gnome! dies (Lawn Fawn), Wonky Stitched Circles dies (My Favorite Things), twine (Target), foam tape (3M)

My first step in creating this card design was to choose the patterned paper for the background -- a small print of light and dark coral flowers. I selected the colors for the gnomes based on the colors in the paper and then stamped, colored, and die cut two gnomes for each card. It's hard to tell in the photo, but there are touches of gold foil on the patterned paper. I added gold to the images on the man's belt buckle and the woman's apron.

I created the whole focal point by die cutting a stitched circle from white card stock. I stamped the sentiment on the circle, added the gnomes with foam tape, and then stamped the little heart. I attached the circle near the top of the card base with foam tape and added twine around the bottom portion of the card.
