Cold Winter Night

 

My post today is my entry for three challenges including Craft A Scene whose theme for the month of September is "Dusk to Dawn".    I am not too experienced in doing skies but I knew I should have a sky to show dusk to dawn with maybe a moon.  I decided to create a cold wintry scene because hills with snow would be simple enough to create foreground and background with feeling of dimension. I first stamped the trees and deer in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and then using the masking technique, I colored the sky by sponging Memento Summer Sky, Nautica Blue, and Paris Dusk inks to create a cold blustery look using a circle cut out to mask a moon which I sponged lightly with Memento Cantaloupe ink.  I created the hills with torn curved pieces of paper  and used for masking the hills that I sponged lightly with the blue inks.  I added snowflakes falling in the sky with a white gel pen.  I matted the image on a metallic silver cardstock which did not photograph very well and adhered to a card base of dark blue cardstock.  The tree and deer stamps are from GKD "The Northwoods" and "Life is Good".  The sentiment is from Flourishes and also stamped in Tuxedo Black ink.
