Gnome Winter Village - Polkadoodles Digi Choosday

 Gnome Winter Village

Today's theme for the Design Team was 
Winter Gnomes - Non Traditional Colours
There's also an amazing 
DISCOUNT CODE for the 
Polkadoodles store TODAY! 
Check out the blog for all the details.

For my winter gnomes theme,  I used Special Wishes Letter from the Gnome Festive Fun Collection.  Coloured using ProMarkers.  I die cut the top half from my Kraft card front, so I could attach the houses behind the curves. I then embossed the front with a dotty embossing folder. The houses are from Christmas Scene and Holly Blessings Stamp Sets. Trees are from Night Sky Stamp Set. I stamped on to Kraft card and coloured using a white Prismacolor pencil. I finished off by attaching some brown and white gingham ribbon and made a bow to match.
