On today's card I am featuring Doodlebug Designs Forest Friends Clear Stamp Set, Floral Graph Rainbow & Swiss Dots Rainbow Petite Prints 6x6 paper pads.

I have stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink & coloured them with my copics. After colouring my images I fussy cut them & popped the cute gnome from Simon Says Stamps Spring Gnomes clear stamp set and one of the trees onto foam squares and adhered them to my card.  

I'm pretty sure this is the first card I've ever made without any embellishments at all & to be honest if I didn't have a banging headache when I created it I'm sure some would have found their way on there.

Other supplies used - 

 Tacky Glue, Simon Says Stamps Grassy Edges wafer die, Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer.
