Celebrating with the Gnomes – Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July! Thankful for the freedom we have in America – land of the free, home of the brave.

To celebrate the holiday I’ve made a red, white and blue card. For the background I used one of the masks from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks. These masks are so much fun to play with and very versatile. In future posts, I’ll be sharing some cards using the other masks.

I used the Kindest Gnomes from the 2022 July – December catalog. It comes with 5 images and 4 sentiments. You’ll be able to die cut the images with the coordinating Gnomes dies which also includes a few extra dies. I think these gnomes are adorable.
