A Very Gnomie Birthday

I have my guest designer hat on today for Fitztown Challenge #40 which is anything Masculine. So I've used Garden 40 image for my card.

Not only have I coloured in this image with alcohol markers but I have also paper pieced his hat and pants.

I have also popped up the mushrooms he is sitting under and added some glossy accents to the dots to add some 3D interest.

  2. A great design and I love the paper piecing. Thanx for sharing with us at Fantasy Stampers, but as you used a digital image I am unable to consider your card for our Top 3. Would love to see you again next time with your stamps.
