A Winters Night

Good morning everyone 

and Happy New Year 

Let’s hope it is a good one for us all 

As it is the first of the month it is a new Challenge over at the Lavinia Challenge. 

Our new theme is 

A Winters Night 

Here is some inspiration for you .

Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins a £40 Lavinia voucher .

Here is how I created it. 

I began by using Billy Brayer and one of the new Elements ink pads. 

This one is Sahara.

Next I added some Graphite ink around the edges. 

Next came the stamping , I do love the new Echo owl stamp 

I used my Inktense pencils to add colour to the berries 
I then added some more Graphite ink through one of the new stencils ,(Glory )  and around the moon, 

I love how the atmosphere is beginning to build in this scene 

I then used a combination of white paint and some mica minerals to create snow and frost 

Here is a closer look 

It is a bit like looking out of my window today 

We still have lots of snow and it was quite frosty when we walked Eric this morning 

I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing day 

Take care everyone 

Much love and hugs
