For today'e(TM)s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT735), we are to have grass on our cards..hand drawn, die cut, stamped..doesn't matter. That's pretty easy! All my grass was drawn in w/ Copics.
In fact, there's only 1 image on this CAS card. The gnome w/ the partial tree. I added all the grass, bushes, sky & leaves w/ Copics. This little guy really looks like he's sorting things out, doesn't he? My theory is he's thinking over ways to add a new room onto his tree house (looks a tad too cozy). I put together the greeting from 2 different ones, then added the die cut G at the beginning. The edges of the card front were trimmed w/ a corner rounder to match the rounded rectangle die cut of the panel.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, Copic colors & product links are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wow, Julie! This card is striking with the beautiful scenery you created! The grass and small trees in the background are fabulous. Mr. Gnome certainly appears to be in deep thought as he walks around his Gnome Sweet Gnome! Wonderful card, Julie!

Julie, this is such a darling card. It reminds me of the Keebler elf and his cookie tree. Now I want a chocolate chip cookie! LOL

He does look as if he's pondering some weighty matters, for sure. Fab colouring, Julie. I think that's such a fun stamp, I love the little cluster of toadstools by the front door. One of the guys in work was saying recently, I think when I was knitting the mushrooms for my wreath, how it's strange that the iconic toadstool is a poisonous one. But one of the prettiest, too .

Julie, this is amazing, and it is all beatifully created. No way would I even attempt that. If I did, it would more than likely go into the trash - LOL
