Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi Clear Scrap Fans, it's Sandy Diller here to share a holiday creation for you home.

The 4th of July will soon be here and I love the colors of our country.  I've decorated this adorable gnome to celebrate the season.  

I first covered the hat with alternating red and white strips of paper in a wave pattern.  Next came the body that is covered in a blue plaid.  I used a black marker to color in the feet.

Before the hair was added it was embossed to give texture and then edged with some brown ink.  Every patriotic gnome needs a red bow.

I like to mix things up sometimes so I used the "Summer" from the Word n Shape Summer – Flip Flop.  You will see the Flip Flops in another project.  I painted the word blue to match the theme.

To make this little gal stand up I used the base from one of the Frameables, covered with paper and  then added some grass using a die from my stash.
