Background techniques at Graph'It Colouriing Challenge

Good morning folks, today's card is my make for our challenge over at Graph'It Colouring Challenge where our theme is . As always we've got some fab prizes up for grabs with one lucky winner getting some gorgeous digis from Polkadoodles and another getting some gorgeous Graph'It markers from Cult Pens. Cult pens have some amazing offers on Graph'Its too so pop over and have a look!

I've coloured my image with Graph'It Markers, there's a full list of colours over on the challenge blog. I created the background by colouring the sky with blues and blue greys and then splashed on Mix'it fluid to create a moody night sky. I've added some snow with a white Graph'It Shake pen.

I've kept the card layout fairly simple as I wanted the image to take centre stage, adding a sentiment from Frosted Winter and a red gingham bow. I used a punch to create a border along the bottom of the card.
