Frostwood Lodge at Dawn - Technostamper 245

I've been running around all day getting ready for my all day card making class this coming Sunday.  There will be 14 people there making 10 complete Christmas cards.  Needless to say it has required a fair bit of organization and planning on my part.
It's nice to sit down and make a card for the Technostamper challenge here
To accommodate the stamp I wanted to use, I turned to sketch on its side.

 

I started by sponging the sky, first with Island Indigo ink, then Marina Mist, and finally Pink Pirouette.  The sun is just rising and is casting a pink glow over everything.  The pink glow is picked up in the snow on the various areas covered by snow on the Lodge, which is stamped in Soft Suede.  It's not light enough to pick up colours yet.  The snow is actually dazzling diamonds.  I stamped a tree from Lovely as a Tree to the right side of the card - again in Soft Suede
