Gnome Couple Bundle by Conie Fong - Card 3

Hello friends!  I hope you had a nice weekend.  My DT card today is made with Conie Fong's super cute Gnome Couple Bundle.  This bundle comes with the couple, the boy gnome, and the girl gnome.  This is the third card that I have made with this sweet couple.

In addition to her YouTube videos, Conie has two Facebook Groups called Conie Fong Art & Design Group and Draw with Conie.

I coloured the image with Copic markers.  The pretty background paper is by Heartfelt Creations (Window Scenes Collection paper pad).

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a happy week.  Hugs, Lori xx
