Gnome in a Globe!

I found this awesome challenge blog Etsy Inspired Challenge Blog thanks to Cokie Pop!
The challenge is: This week we are visiting Muffa. In the Muffa world, there are OOAK handmade micro miniature animals, thread crocheted bears, gnomes, and fairies. And when we say MICRO--they are TINNNNNY! 

 You can also check out Muffa's blog, HERE


You had to search her store which is AMAZING and select an item of inspiration.

Here is the item I selected:


Can you believe how tiny this is??

Here is my entry: 







I had so much fun creating this and it was super challenging for me!!

First I designed the globe with my Gypsy and DoodleCharms

The mushrooms are from Simply charmed
Grass is from Create a Critter
Little flowers are from a Martha Stewart Border Punch with an added pearl
Mosiac embossing for the bottom of the globe.


And the Gnome was the tricky part!! I could not find a Gnome on any of my Cartridges, so I studied the inspiration photo and realized the Gnome looked like a hat and sure enough the hat in Mini Monsters was PERFECT!!

I cut it three times once in red, blue and cream and cut the pieces to fit. I used sharpie for the eyes and Deco-Art for the beard.

I layered my ribbon from Portafolia (New)
the paper is Recollections Xmas ( New)
and the pattern paper is from Heidi Grace (New)
Popped up Acetate for globe.
