Tomtes at Lili of the Valley

Tomtes come to Lili of the Valley.  "What is a Tomte?" I hear you ask. Well Tomte is Swedish, in english we would probably call them gnomes.  They are solitary, mischievous domestic spirits, responsible for the protection and welfare of a homestead and its buildings.   These little fellows are Christmas Tomtes and pretty darn cute.

As with my snowman card shared a few days back I have kept my little Tomte mini and used a large sentiment in the background.  I actually really like this look and have a few more in the process.  I took the opacity of the sentiment down to a soft grey so it doesn't appear to over power the card.  The Tomte is coloured in pencil and popped up on foam to give him a bit more presence.  He has several friends so go take a look when they are available in store on the 25th August.

Thanks for stopping by
