I pulled out my Party Gnomes Stamp + Thin Cuts and decided to colour the girl gnome (I had pre-cut some extra shapes last time I made a card so it was quick to stamp and colour with a pre-cut shape - I didn't need to pull out my bigshot die-cutting machine). I used the 

Bright Pink TriBlend™ Marker and the Purple TriBlend™ Marker to attempt to make Wildberry to colour the gnomes dress and hat. I think I got pretty close. The balloon at the front was fussy cut out using Wild Berry Cardstock and the ribbon is Wild Berry Stitched Ribbon. 

The lighter balloon is Wisteria Cardstock light side of the cardstock fussy cut and the darker balloon is the purple pen trying to create the darker shade of wisteria. The white glisten on the balloons is made using the White Gel Pens. The grey pens for hair and shoes are 

Ice Grey TriBlend™ Marker and Brown Grey TriBlend™ Marker.

To create the background I cut some Capri Cardstock at 4.25 inches wide (the size of the White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack cards). Then I ripped the cardstock and laid it down on the cardbase alternating the sides of the cardstock (dark/light). Then I added a strip of capri cardstock at the bottom to cover the last of the white and to ensure that the bottom and top of the card were straight and not ripped. 

I glued on the Wild Berry Stitched Ribbon with Adhesive Tape and then added the Happy Birthday stamp. To attach the gnome I used 3-D Foam Tape. 

It was hard to photograph as the colours didn't seem to go true to colour... I did try edit the photo but it still isn't true to colour.

I chose Green Apple to go with my neutrals. I pulled out the cutest stamp and thin cut set called Party Gnomes Stamp + Thin Cuts

I coloured the cute chocolate cake with a bunch of the Tri-blend markers from mostly the Essential Blends Marker Bundle. (pictured the pens I used). 

To add the wording I cut a peice of White Daisy Cardstock and cut to size. Then I grabbed all the words on the and arranged them on the block to fit the paper size. I used Green Apple Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad to stamp them. Then I added the Green Apple Cardstock around the white daisy. 

The card base was created with Kraft Paper because its a neutral colour. I used the off cut of the Silver Glitter Paper that was cut using Stitched Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts. The Birthday sticker was from an older sticker set with green apple. I used 3D foam tape. 

This is what I gave my husband for his birthday this week.
