There is no sign that the current freezing cold icy weather will disappear any time soon, so after a short trip out to collect an ordered present I holed myself up in the Happy Place where it is lovely and warm!
I have been having lots of inkyness just lately having visited Pinterest. I am in awe of the talent so many possess with their gorgeous scenes and I thank them for inspiring.
Here's another I did after a Pinterest trawl -
I love these Lavinia foxes. Am practicing very hard with the white highlighter on the fur - not quite there yet but improving each time.
The sky imitates what I looked out on today! It was quite misty fog earlier and only cleared mid afternoon. The grey sky was achieved by smooshing Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide and flicking some water across it. I masked off the bottom with some torn paper before smooshing.
Blended a little Fossilized Amber over the top for a watery sun and stamped a few branches after making a few snowy drifts.
As usual I had to splatter!
Another practice session completed and another card for my stash!
Thanks for looking. Hope you are warm and well in your part of blogland. x

Really lovely card Viv. Fab inkiness. Xxx
ReplyDeleteMy word, Lady Viv, you are masterful when it comes to foggy wintry skies and snowy ground - not to mention schplatters! Your fog-shrouded sun and the movement of the foxes make this look like a photograph! YOU are one of those who leave me in awe of the talent you possess! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful scene Viv and I particularly love the way the water droplets have given the effect of foggy clouds, and the shading on the snow looks so realistic, and who could resist those cute foxes, and finished with the pretty foliage and the yellow sun showing through the mist..very atmospheric. x
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome scene, Viv! You should frame this one! I love the feel of mist you've achieved with the soft glow of the sun! We've had several days like this lately and it's chilly here too.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card Viv, and I think you've really captured the recent weather in your little scene.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at Try it on Tuesday.
