We can just take it as fact that I love gnomes. The bigger the beard, the better. This time I decided to go for it and colour one of my favourites using coloured pencils. You can watch my Prismacolor pencil video below to see how I tackled him!
Flowery Gnome Card
This little guy is one of my favourites. 1. He’s adorable. 2. That beard offers scope for some serious practice creating texture. 3. He’s perfect for lots of different occasions. He would be perfect for Mother’s Day, which is coming up here in the UK.
Stamps Used: Flowery Gnome, Spring Sentiment Set
I stamped the image on Bazzill Basics Kraft card* before colouring with Prismacolor Premier pencils* (see below for full list).
Another fact for you: I am still obsessed with colouring on Kraft using pencils. Not sorry.

Colouring with pencils is a labour of love – it takes time – so I speed up the videos, because your time is valuable. These free videos are not intended as classes, or to give specific instruction, but you can gain some tips and insights by seeing what I do. They are an overview, not a step by step guide.
To give you an idea, it took me two hours to colour this image.
If you are in the UK/Europe you can find Stamping Bella stamps and dies at Dies to Die For here in the UK.
