addicted to gnomes

 

A couple of weeks ago I needed a gnome card for a nephew that collects them.  I found a website with  free downloadable colouring pages.  I chose an image and coloured it and turned it into a card.(See the previous post for more info on this.)

I enjoyed colouring the gnome in his habitat so much, that I decided to revisit the website and download a few more images.  I have spent every free minute colouring these images and I have loved colouring    them  turning them into 5 X 7 inch cards. As you can see from the header photo...I got a little carried away.  Although I really like the way they have turned out,  I don't think my friends and family would appreciate being sent  a Gnome card. So these will be gifted as a set to the gnome lover. 


 The gnome caring for the duck is a cute image that oozes caring, so I thought the sentiment I chose was perfect for this one.


The helpful squirrel gathering nuts for the gnome  just had to be a "thank you" card.


This one I kept fairly neutral so it could be used for a notelet.


Now this one I was going to have Happy Anniversary on it, but that would restrict its use, so I used a generic greeting that could be completed on the inside. For example,  Just for you....
 On your anniversary,  or  On your birthday.


I haven't added the sentiment yet, but I think the card above will be a happy birthday card. I am toying with adding a tiny candle to the top of the nut the gnome is offering up. 
 Equally it could be another thank you card, if you think the squirrel has been gathering nuts for the gnome.

This one might make a masculine birthday card, or a new home card,  or at a push congrats on the new job,  for the handyman,  anyone into DIY or in the furniture restoration business.


Party invite maybe



Two for the gardener




A Birthday 


New rug rats maybe...ha ha
You have got to love these images, even if you don't like gnomes.
If you fancy having a go at colouring these images here is the link .

I forgot to mention there are a lot more images to colour on this website, It's not just  gnomes.
