Astronomical Gnomes

 Hello!  I love Gnomes!  Always have and always will.  Trinity Stamps has the best Gnomes ever.  This stamp and die collection, Astronomical Gnomes, is from their new release.  These little astro-gnomes are just the best.  

The background sky is ink blended using Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Ink.

For the moon surface, I used the new Crater Layers Stencil and coordinating dies.  I love this stencil not only because of the coordinating dies but that it also has a couple of different surface stencils.  I used Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink.  I also spritzed it with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Spritz to give it a little shimmer.

I used the die included with the stencil set to cut out the moon surface and then heat embossed the sentiment that comes with the Astronomical Gnomes Stamp Set with black embossing powder on the lower right hand side.  

My two little Astronauts are colored with Copic Markers in the following colors:

• C0, C1, C2, C4, C6 - Gray's
• E00, E11 - Skin
• B12, B14, B16 - Blue Suit Trim
• V01, VO4, V09, V05 - Purples
• Y13, Y15, Y17 - Yellows
• YR65, YR68, R17 - Oranges
• G03, G09, FBG2, BG05, BG02 - Earth Balloon

To give my card a little dimension, I used foam squares on the back of the moon and the gnomes.  I cut some stars from gold glitter cardstock using the die that comes with the Crater Layers Die.  

Who couldn't just love these guys???

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an "Astronomical" day!!!
