Happy Harvest

  I live in a rural area and one of the reasons fall is my favourite time of year is that around where I live and on my drive to work, I pass many fresh farm produce stands at the end of farm lane ways. I don't always get a chance to stop but when I do, I enjoy fresh corn, peas, squash, flowers - I've seen some huge sunflowers this year, eggs and beans to name a few. "Happy Harvesting" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps reminds me of these stands because I think it looks like he is taking his fresh produce out to put on his stand. It all looks very yummy!

I stamped this adorable gnome on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. I set him aside and gathered the dies and patterned paper from Echo Park and Craft Consortium that I wanted to use on my card. I cut my paper pieces to fit my 5.5" x 5.5" card base and then cut the fence, grass, trees and clouds for my scene. I cut and glued down each piece, added the stamp to the middle section and popped the section up with foam pop dots. To finish my card I stamped the sentiment and added it to matching card stock, added some ribbon and a bow and enamel dots.

Happy Harvesting

Howdy - MichelleO here today - How totally adorable is this little Gnome? These High Hopes Stamps Gnomes are just too fun.. This is Happy Harvesting. A proud little guy with his vegetables he has gathered. Then he joins some of the other High Hopes Stamps Gnomes for Coffee.. Fishing.. and even Coloring their favorite stamps from High Hopes Stamps! LOL

 

 

This Gnome is colored with my Copics (colors below) and then put together with some fun papers from Graphic 45. Love the warm colors for this fall gardener. Layered then sewn down with zig zag and straight stitches. For a border I used a cream pattern news print paper and punched with a EK Success punch. 

 

A few brown enamel dots and then the fun High Hopes Stamps "Gnome Mistake" sentiment punched out with another EK Success punch, with a Copic Marker faux border around the edges. 

I love how this one came out and what a great friendly card for a friend!
