Fantasy Magic... Happy B'day Gena!

Happy 15th Birthday Gena!
Scott and I are dancing a celebratory jig in your honor!

I am in love with the Mo Manning images of dwarves and gnomes... her images are so delightfully detailed and realistic [they look like all the gnomes who live in my woods!]
I have wanted for a very long time to color this threesome that I merged with the png files purchased at the Digital Pencil Too.  This piece represents hours of meditative, soul-soothing, total escape coloring!  After all three were completed with Copics, I started creating the background scene using the "Fern" stencil [KaiserCraft] and Distress Inks.  Would you believe I have not used a stencil before this??  Next was the rock 'floor' [source unknown] of their living space, adding three dragonflies  [PSX] and finally inking the edges with the same Distress Inks.



I created this for the new 613 Ave C  challenge starting Aug 5:  "ATG/ optional Twist: "Fantasy / Magic"  You have the month of August to show your creative talents!   For details of the challenge and for some very creative ideas from the DT's incredible inspiration concepts -  click HERE!

Create wildly and color with abandon!

  1. Wow!!! I thought it wasn't possible for me to be even more impressed with your coloring skills, but I am; you've outdone yourself on this one! FANTASTIC!!! I know Gena will love it, too! Happy Birthday, Gena!!! I know I've put a lot of exclamation points in this comment, but really this is just such a stunning card. In addition to you superb coloring, how you've handled the background the 'floor', etc., is all just so wonderful. I am sooooooooo in awe here.

  3. Having just completed a DT project that involved multiple layered digis to create a full scene, I know exactly what it took to create this masterpiece! Heart, soul, and MANY hours! What a great job! That said, you could have just taken a photograph of your own little gnomes celebrating life in your woods😉 Oh wait... maybe this IS the photograph!!! Fantastic job Ginny! Adorable images. Beautiful colouring!! I can almost hear the music! Thanks for sharing your art with us at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges!

    2. Hi Ginny
      I wasn't sure you would be notified of my answer to your question on my blog. Nope, I didn't use Glossy Accents. I just used a white gel pen for the dots. Thanks so much for your lovely comment!
