Gnome in Brown Hat Taking a Nap in a Teacup 8x8Completed by Donna Ritchie

These are wonderful cards to use for belated somethings - 'Sorry I slept through your. . .' or for get well cards - 'Sorry to hear that you are under the weather', or you can used the included greetings.

I have shown 2 very simple ways of using this design that are quick to make. For the first card you only need one copy of the design, some glitter and some glitter glue, for the 2nd card you will need to print the design twice.

I printed my design on matte photo paper and, for the first card, I simply cut out the main design. I then added some wet glue to the white parts of the flowers, before sprinkling fine, white glitter over each one. To finish the flowers I then used my Stickles glue on the centres to add a bit more texture and a different shine. I stuck the completed base to my card on foam then used the same Stickles glue, as on the flowers, as a border around the design. Simple and very quick and you still have the gift tag from the design to use for later.

For my 2nd example I printed the design twice on matte photo paper and layered one base on foam on my card. From the 2nd copy I simply cut around the circle and the outside of the cup before adding this on foam as well. Very simple but a little different.

For some more complex variations please have a look at cup640674_415 - another gnome but in green.
