Hope you're all ok and enjoying some sunshine at last.
Anyhoo...here's my card featuring a new character, Tipsy Timmy, and his friend Mooning Morris.
As you can see, there's a darts tournament being held at The Toadstool Arms and Tipsy Timmy is having a little warm up. Unfortunately, Mooning Morris is too busy showing the flowers his new tattoo and isn't aware of the impending danger!
I had a lot of fun making this card. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a blooper (such an amateur) and made a really stupid and avoidable error with my Spellbinder dies when cutting out...so I lost the top of the roof and chimney of the Gnarly Wood pub! Oops! I won't be making THAT mistake again! Lol.
Anyway, I took the png images into my MCS software and set them out in the little scene and added some drop shadows before printing out and colouring with my Promarkers. For this one I only used 5 markers and it was a lot of fun to do. The Promarkers I used are as follows:
Burnt Sienna
Cinnamon
Tan
Putty
Almond.
They work so beautifully together to create a sepia effect which is great for monochrome.
The backing paper is from Bearly Mine and the butterflies were cut using a Doohickey Butterfly die.
The brown card is Papermania Textured cardstock. I have used Cheery Lynn Reflections Boutique Mega Mini Pearl Square (or something like that, lol) dies to cut out a matting layer for the image and the sentiment.
I've decorated the inside to match and that's it. All the work is in the colouring which was an absolute pleasure to do. Really loving playing with the Gnomes of Gnarly Wood. They're just wonderful!
Hope you like my little scene and that it's brought a smile to your face.
Head over to the challenge to take a look and then get crafting so you can join in.
