Today's card uses the gnome on the Freshly Picked cart. I redressed it to match a set of Norwegian nissen that were my grandmother's. She brought them back from Norway. I made this card for my aunt's birthday. It also qualifies for Bitten By The Bug 2, which wants you to use the gnome. So don't tell them that it isn't a gnome but a nisse ;- ) The rest of the card is basic, since all of my time went into the paper piecing and customizing of the clothes. Some of them had to be specially tailored ;- )
I did take a few artistic liberties, but my Aunt will get the idea. Any punches I had were too large for her skirt, so I paper pierced it. I should have cut the guys jacket into a vest.
Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful weekend full of blessings!

I knew I'd seen those "gnome's" before
How cute! They look just like your nisse. I always think of gnomes as Scandanavian. Probably 'cause I'm half Swedish. have a few little guys from there as well. thanks for joining us at BBTB2 this week. xxD
