It was a good day yesterday - my fundraiser with my friend Megan went well - she got £233 for Asthma UK and I got almost £60 towards my £300 goal for Asthma Uk. So between us we did really well!!! I also managed to get a few commissions too - and thats got to be good!
Okay so onto this afternoon - there is a new challenge starting with craftascene later today and this month we want to see woodland animals. My first card is a night time scene made using two tree stamps from Sheena Douglass and an owl stamp from Lavinia. The background is made by brayering with DI - chipped sapphire I think it was.
I made the background first masking off the moon and the hill at the base and brayering the sky and the hills. I then stamped the images in black archival and heat set with clear embossing powder.
I'd like to enter this card for the following challenges:
