I did another little scene for my new Magnolia cuties and took the view from a mile down the road for my inspiration which is of the South Downs and Jack and Jill Windmills with the addition of my mythical fairground tents LOL!
Everything on the background is my own drawing and it's all watercoloured with TH Distress Inks apart from the sky which I sponged. I added stickles to Tilda's crown, their wings and flowers. The berries, flags and windmill are coloured with sparkle gel pens.
This was a pure enjoyment card for me. TFL.

Chris, Chris, Chris, it's not often I'm at a loss for words, but this card you've created is nothing less than a masterpiece! I'm in awe with your coloring, and the entire card is colored! The scene you've so masterfully created is awesome: it's colored to perfection! Did you go to the London Schools of Arts to learn how to color so professionally? I've favorited this card, but not because I can recreate anything even remotely close to it, but because I am going to add to the sunday forum for the 'week's best cards' mention. On sunday, if you remember, pm me and I'll tell you where to go so you can see for yourself. You deserve such accolades for such marvelous work! This is truly exceptional, my friend! My sincere complements!
