Craft a Scene Challenge 2 - Winter Theme

Today is the second challenge over at Craft a Scene and our first design team post.  The theme this month is Winter. 


When I think Winter scenic, I reach for my Sutter Stamps.   They have a fabulous collection of winter themed stamps requiring very little work.  For this scene, I started with the mountain at the top and then built the scene forward.  I used Eclipse tape to mask my Elk as well as the mountains when I added the sky.  The great thing about Winter scenes is the coloring; less is best.  This is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Cryogen card stock.  I used Copics B000 for detail work, then airbrushed B00 and B21 into the sky and around the edges.  The Gulls and framing elements top and bottom are from Stampscapes. Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.

Be sure to visit the Craft A Scene blog and see what the rest of the design team has created for you.  And won't you join in the fun of the challenge?
