Winter Wonderland at PanPastel UK

Good morning my lovelies, hows your weekend going? Christmas is sneaking up on us very quickly so my project today is another Christmas card - its my DT offering for Premium Craft Brands PanPastel Challenge and our theme is 'Winter Wonderland' with a colour palette of metallics plus one other colour - I've used just white, silver and pewter PanPastels to create this little scene.


I've used some grey pastel mat to create this little scene. I began by creating the moon and sky with white silver and pewter PanPastels. Next I added the snow with silver PanPastel and stamped in the images with Andy Skinner Stamps and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I added some 'drifts' to the snow with white PanPastel and added some white to the roof of the house and the tree branches. then I used the corner of a Sofft sponge to add the shadows and lastly, a little sparkle with a Graph'It Glitter Shake pen in silver

Here's another pic, a bit of a weird angle but I was trying to catch the frosty sparkle


I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
City Crafter: snow white
Crazy Challenge: snowy winter
Holly Jolly Christmas: one for the boys
Left of Centre: no people
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: countdown to the holidays
Stempelsonne: Merry Christmas

Have a good day and thanks so much for popping by
