Driving Home For Christmas

Hello Nomad friends.  Hope you are having an awesome July.  I'm over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with a Christmas In July idea I had for Carmen's Veranda Old Truck and Lost Coast Designs Gnomes.  Unfortunately the original gnomes were too big, but now Linda is releasing mini versions and they fit perfectly.  Let's get merry......


I stamped Old Truck, the Mini Gnomes and part of Megan's Christmas Bird, coloured with watercolour pencils and fussy cut.  For the background I stamped Lost Coast Designs Trees in black, a yellow circle and gave the rest a blue watercolour wash.  
 
 
I put the baubles around the back of the truck and added mini Silly Gnome to the truck bed.  I did a bit of snipping and managed to get mini Pompom Gnome in the driving seat LOL.  I cut around the trees leaving a wide border at the bottom to be a snowy road, added the truck and stamped the Party Words Merry Christmas.
 
 
Don't forget to join the Christmas in July fun and link up your stamped Christmas makes for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars.
