Sleigh What? -Festive Gnome Card
It’s Christmas!
There’s something so warm and cozy about flannel in winter. The soft, brushed fabric wraps you in a delightful embrace, inviting you to sip hot cocoa by the fireplace or snuggle up with a good book. Its classic patterns, from charming checks to whimsical plaids, evoke feelings of nostalgia and comfort.
Whether it’s layered over your favorite tshirt or transformed into delightful DIY cards, flannel brings a touch of rustic charm to the season.
Created as part of the Polkadoodles Design Team
A variety of printable paper from Polkadoodles - Winnie White Christmas 2 resembling flannel created a background and a frame for this super fun card design.
Birch trees in winter -Their striking white bark stands out against a serene blanket of snow, delicate branches adorned with frost, reminding us of the magic that lies in the simplest moments.
In this case, the birch trees were stamped onto a background panel and Stickle highlights were added to create a beautiful frosty effect.
The panel was cut with a rectangle die, ensuring it would fit into the background of the flannel die cut frame.
Center stage In this whimsical winter wonderland is a delightful image featuring a jolly Santa Gnome joyfully riding on his sled, pulled by an irresistibly adorable polar bear.
I guess he is taking over for Rudolph this year?!
