Happy Sunday friends! I'm working on some Christmas cards over the weekend, and thought it would be fun to combine several Conie Fong Digis onto one card to create a scene. I used 3 different digi sets: Christmas Gnomes Bundle (gnomes with presents), Christmas Stocking Bundle (pine cone branch), and Christmas Tree Gnome (sentiment).

I recently saw some Christmas Bokeh digital papers on Creative Fabrica, and decided they would make a fantastic background. I did all my layering in MS Word. I just copied the paper into a word document. Next, I used the PNG file of the pine cone branch from the Christmas Stocking Bundle, and copy/pasted into the same word document. Once I click on LAYOUT, then WRAP TEXT, then click IN FRONT OF TEXT, I can move the digital image over the Bokeh paper and place it where I want it. I also turned it a little so it would fit across the top of the Bokeh paper. I did the same with the sentiment and overlayed it on top of the Bokeh paper. Next, I printed the design onto Copic Xpress It Blending Card, cut it to 4" x 5.25", and colored the pine cone branch with Copic markers.

Next, I printed the gnomes from the Christmas Gnomes Bundle at about 2 inches tall and fussy cut all 3 of them out. I colored each one with Copic Markers. Next, I cut pieces of white/gold twine and glued a piece behind each gnome hat. I added foam tape to the back of each gnome, and adhered to my card. I trimmed the twine and glued the top of it to the pine cone branch. Then I tied 3 twine bows and added them to the top.

I had a lot of fun creating this card, but coloring those tiny gnomes with my bad eyesight was a struggle, LOL! Next time, I would create a bigger card....maybe 5x7 so I can make the gnomes larger. I hope this inspires you to mix and match some of Conie's digis to create some of your own awesome scenes!
Hugs,
Rosie
