I started with the leaves patterned paper, cut to cover the full front of an A2 card base.
I cut out all of the gnome pieces using the dies with white cardstock. I did a second pass through the die cutting machine for the hat using checked patterned paper.
I colored all of the white die cuts with alcohol markers and assembled the gnome. I cut the tree stump as a place for the gnome to sit. I cut out several pumpkins from white cardstock and also colored these with alcohol markers. One is in the gnome's hands and two are placed on the ground.
I added the center strip of kraft cardstock to emphasize the gnome and tree stump against the busy background. This also gave me a blank space to stamp the sentiment.
