Birthday Gnomes ...

Good morning,

Sharing another January Birthday card…

One of my co-workers is really into the animal print stuff … like décor, clothing etc. and she likes gnomes!

I’m still sure about this new set of alcohol markers I bought… I am no expert at coloring, but I really struggled with getting them to blend out like I wanted so it took multiple layers to get the look I wanted. I’m still not super happy with the edges of their caps but it is what it is. I’ll keep playing with them but so far … meh.

I do love this image from Andrea though. One of my favorites of hers. I did a little fussy cutting around the top so they would show up a little more againsts the design paper,
