Winter Scene by Fran C

Hello everyone!

Today I made a Winter scene using the only Christmassy stamps that I have from VLVS! I hope you like it :)

 First of all I stamped the snowman, signpost and houses onto the card, using a mask made from torn paper under the houses for the snow.

I then stamped the images again and cut them out to use as masks while I did the sky (I didn't need the snowman in the end!)

I coloured the sky with a stencil brush and Chipped Sapphire distress ink, only lightly at first.

I stamped a star in Yellow and made a soft haze round it with Squeezed Lemonade distress ink, then added stripes in the sky with Wilted Violet and Twisted Citron distress inks to represent the Northern Lights, building up the colour slowly.

I coloured the snowman with Copic Pens, and also stamped the Banksy penguins to add some balance.  I coloured the windows in the houses a bright yellow.

I added some holographic glitter on the top of the snow line, and on the snowman and his tree.

Lastly, I added shadows and then some snow by hitting a white Posca pen with a metal ruler (masking anything I didn't want the snow to cover).
