A Perfect Summer Day For Snorkeling

 

I have another fun summer card with those adorable Summer Gnomes from Trinity Stamps.  

Again, I wanted to do an interactive card but this time I wanted the snorkeling gnome to move up and down.  I felt like I needed to so a slimline card to be able to have him move up and down and still have another gnome floating in the pool.  I also had to trim down the Backyard Pool to make the card "work".  

I used Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina to ink the water in the pool.  I used the Cloudy Stencil from Lawn Fawn to ink in the clouds with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide.  

I used the Waving Pull Tab die set from Lawn Fawn to make my gnome move up and down.  I did have to modify it a little bit so that the die set would work with the length of the slimline card. 

All the coloring was done with Copic Markers in the following colors:

• Pool Brick - E08, E21, E97
• Fence - E17, E34, E47
• Grass - YG03, YG17, G07
• Rock - N1, N3, N5
• Yellows - Y13, Y15, Y17
• Blues - B12, B24, B28
• Oranges - Y38, YR04, YR07
• Reds - R22, R35, R39
• Gnome Skin - E000, E00, E02
• Gnome Beards - N0, N1, N3

This is definitely one of my favorite cards!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day!
