Bah! Humbug! #28 - Christmas Scene

For this week's make I decided to make a scene from scratch and started with a piece of 160gsm white paper 4.25 x3.5 inches.

I masked the moon and stamped the cottages and masked them. Tore a post it note to the shape of the horizon that fitted with the cottages and then sponged around the moon with pale yellow and then sponged the sky with SU Nearly Navy. I re-used the post it note to form banks of snow in the foreground and very lightly sponged them with the Nearly Navy. After that I added the trees, bushes and deer and highlighted some areas with white gel pen and clear Sakura Stardust pen. Stars were put in the sky with white gel pen.

When the mask on the cottages was removed I added some thin black detail to take off the whiteness and also sponged some yellow and navy on the moon when the mask was removed. The sentiment embossed directly onto the base card is by Elusive Images.

I am very lucky living where I do, I see sights similar to this every night from my lounge window. I hope you like my scene, I always love making pictures like this - that's what got me into rubber stamping as I can't draw for toffee! Please feel free to add a comment, they are always appreciated.
