While I was waiting for dinner to cook, I decided to color up one of the gnomes from my new set from MFT. I had it in mind to create a tag for the current Tag You're It challenge, but I had no idea what I was going to do once I'd stamped and colored my gnome.
I was inspired by the shaped bottom of Lynn's tag; the thanks sentiment, as well as the red/green nature theme. This is what I came up with:
After I colored my gnome I die-cut him with a Reverse Confetti tag die, keeping him to the left of the tag to allow room for the sentiment. I used a double-tag approach like Lynn and for the added layer on the bottom, I went with some die-cut grass. I finished off the tag with some red and green baker's twine.
It was fun playing with this little fella and a nice way to round out the weekend, ready for another week at work.
Thanks for visiting.

Such a cute tag! It's a wonderful free and creative take on the sketch. So well done! I'm still musing if I need to buy these gnomes or not. They look so good on all the project I see them but I'm not sure if I'd use them often enough.
ReplyDeleteKarren, your tag is so adorable! Love your take on Lynn's tag - red underlay and a green grass border of your tag
