Caffeinated Coffee and BYSCH Sketch Jessica Lynn Clipart (Due by May 25th)

Saw this adorable gnome image in an email from Jessical Lynn Originals, offering a freebie. Knew exactly what this image would be used for even though it was a Spring image, to create a Christmas card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #27 "Green".  In my stash there was a paperpack "CTMH Gnomes for Christmas" with a variety of complementary patterned papers which was perfect for the BYSHC Sketch Challenge #43.  

The patterned papers were cut using three of the patterned papers, layered with green cardstock and each panel adhered to card base as in sketch.  The gnome was sized, printed, colored with Copic sketch pens closest to colors in the patterned paper, fussy-cut and then adhered with 3D thin foam tape for rounding and dimension. 

Cut two border sentiments "Merry Christmas", one in green and the other in white. Adhered the green across the cup and card and then added the white leaving the top portion of the green as a shadow.  

On the inside, along the border, I added the plaid patterned paper layered with  green cardstock.
