{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge #9 ~ Spring into Christmas {BYSHC} Hop ~ Polka Dot Orchard

 Hello there crafty friend!

I am back with my last card for the Spring into Christmas 2021 {BYSHC} Hop card... I'm a little bummed that the hop is already coming to an end, but I'm so happy that so many have shared an amazing bunch of wonderful holiday cards!! We have seriously built our stash of holiday cards this week and I am ecstatic!! I hope you are too! Today is also the last day for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 9 and I'm sharing a sweet gnome card using the adorable From Our Gnome to Yours digi stamp set from Sponsor Polka Dot Orchard along with the sketch!!

I went a little nuts with the white acrylic paint splatter for the snow but in my defense we are actually having a couple mid-90 degree days and I'm melting in my studio so snow sounds lovely!! Ha! The papers I chose are the Holiday Intrigue {paper pack} designed by the lovely Angie Blom from Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs and available at Sponsor Unity Stamp Co! Have I mentioned that I love our hop Sponsors! They are amazing humans!

I combined and resized the fun Christmas tree image and the gnome image in a Microsoft Document and print it off. I love the ease of the gnome digi because the sentiments are all ready on the sign and there's no need to get them just so! I then die cut it at an angle with a small stitched rectangle die. I die cut a piece of vellum card stock with the same die and set it aside. The sentiment is from the Magic of Christmas digi set also from Polka Dot Orchard.

I colored up the image with the following Copic markers:

Skin ~ E000, E11

Mustache / Beard ~ C00, C2

Hat ~ R000, R14, R27, YG11, G14, G17, C00, C2

Shirt / Pants ~ R11, R14, R27, B91, B95, B97, B99

Shoes ~ N0, N2, N4, N6

Sign ~ E51, E55, E57

Tree ~ E47, E49, E55, Y06, Y38, B00, B02, R14, R27

Snow ~ C00, C2

Sky ~ B39, B69
