I am in love with this Stamping Bella Gnome Pile stamp. Stamping Bella produces real rubber stamps, which I prefer, because the quality is much better than the photopolymer stamps. Even if you use some weaker dye-based inks you only need one pass and the image comes out crisp.
I coloured the stamped image with alcohol markers.

Shades used:
- Stampin’ Up Stampin’ Blends in Gray Granite, Free Freesia and Pool Party (both light and dark shades). For review of these markers, please click here.
- Couture Creations alcohol markers (top and bottom gnome’s skin) in 489 and 155
Other Materials Used:
I added 3D paint accents with Scrapbook.com Pops of Color in Sea Foam*. I used the ombre paper from Stampin’ Up (from Sale-a-bration a year or two ago). The sentiment was from Paper Pumpkin* (March 2021) Here’s To You kit.
Supplies Source:
I purchased this stamp from 123stitch.com*, which offers shipping to Canada for just US$3.99. I have purchased many items from them and never had any issues. It takes about 2-3 weeks to get your order to Canada from Texas. This isn’t an affiliate link, so I don’t make any commission off it, but I really do love 123stitch.com* because their shipping charge is so low and even cheaper than buying local. They have a large selection of stamps, dies and some ink pads and tools.
