Magical Moments are Everywhere

Welcome Friends;

As well as another week gone by, so has January.  Time is either at a standstill or flies by.  Either way we need to enjoy the magical moments that are everywhere.

For today's card, I used Wizarding Gnome and paired it with Magical Moments (both from High Hopes Stamps).  Hopefully, he can give us all plenty of these magical moments.

After stamping the image onto some XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured it with Copic Markers.  Using the Stitched Wonky Oval Die, I cut the coloured image out as well as to plain ovals using some design & mulberry papers.  After assembling the pieces together, I added some German Glass Glitter Shards to the sides of the main image.  Some other Glitter and Enamel Dots finished off this CAS card.

 Have you had a chance to see all of the stamps that have come out of retirement in the Mix It Up release? I love gnomes so I was excited to see the Wizarding Gnome back in the High Hopes line up! 

I was always taught it is a good thing to have dreams so I have always tried to have one or two. Some have come true......some not so much but I think if I had my own personal wizarding gnome that might help don't you? <smile> 

I stamped my gnome, coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. I set him aside and found some patterned paper from Craft Consortium and Asuka to put my card base together with. It is kind of hard to see but the grey paper in the background has a touch of the purple in the "stars". 

I cut my paper to fit my design and added a scribbled star circle to put behind the gnome. I added the gnome with foam pop dots to add some dimension to the card. It is hard to photograph but I added clear rhinestones to the stars in for a bit of sparkle and a magical feel. To complete my card I stamped the sentiment and added it to matching card stock.
