Hello friends! Today I am sharing a card just jam packed with all of the colors of the rainbow! This card uses both the Love Gnomes and Love You XOXO Scrapbook.com Exclusive stamp sets, which pair together perfectly together!
Below is a list of products that I used to create this card:

Love You XOXO Stamp Set
Berry Sweet A2 Paper Pad

Catherine Pooler Inks: Rockin’ Red, Orange Twist, Limoncello, Grass Skirt, All That Jazz, Suede Shoes, Grape Crush & Midnight
Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink
Gloss Black Pops of Color
Sparkle Silk
Large Foam Squares
Tape Runner
Here is a closer look at the project!
I had a couple fun tips for how I put this card together!
First, it may seem daunting to hand stamp an entire background! Also, when you freehand stamp solid images, you also open yourself up to imperfect impressions! if you look at my card, you’ll see a couple of them, and I know there are some fun ways that you can integrate them into your card! I like to splatter my cards to add extra detail and distractions to my creations! I also like to use embellishments as well, that may cover them up!
Next, I really like working with paper that is already cut down to A2-size, even when i’m just going to use it to die cut. I like to try and die cut my images from the center-most areas of the panel, because then I am at least able to use the panel for a frame! I did that in this card with how I used the red paper from the Berry Sweet Paper Pad as a frame!
Finally, I will always stress the amazing product that is the Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. This ink pad has been in my collection for years, and I just LOVE to use it for nice and crisp sentiments! It’s also a pigment ink, so you can use it to heat emboss with as well!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope this card leaves you with some fun inspiration for how you can combines gnomes and rainbows for your next project!
Happy Crafting!
