Gnome place like home

 
I completely forgot to photograph this card before I left the house, so please excuse my impromptu photo studio.  There was plenty of sun to pick up the colours, but also to cast lots of shadows.  I can't complain as I was lucky to be able to use my camera out doors at all, considering the weather we've been having lately! My friend has just moved back from Spain to set up her home & I thought this sentiment from Lawn Fawn was just perfect for her new house.
I've use chevron backdrops to make the patterned paper & Gnome Sweet Gnome for the rest.


Foam squares give lots of dimension to the layers. Three layers for the gnome & two for the toadstools.  I've curved the layers for that extra 3D effect!  Fabulous 3D paper-piecing tutorial by Mariska was the inspiration for this.  I had great fun with my Promarkers trying to use shading to increase the depth of the images & glossy accents for the window shine.

Hope you've enjoyed your visit.
