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

Stamps: Frostwood Lodge, Lovely as a Tree, Petite Pairs

Inks: Soft Suede, Island Indigo, Marina Mist, Pink Pirouette

Papers: Early Espresso, Whisper White, Candlelight Christmas DSP

Accessories: Polka dot folder, Dazzling diamonds

Wintery Tree at Frostwood Lodge - Sketch Frenzy Friday

Wow!  Friday already, and time for a mini blog hop with Sketch Frenzy Friday.
How has the weather been in your neck of the woods.  It has been very mild here and we have had a lot of rain.  I`m really glad it`s not snow because if this week`s precipitation was snow it would be up to the roof tops.
However, because of this mild weather a lot of people are getting sick - including yours truly.  For over 10 days I have been fighting a `cold`, something I rarely get - but this year I got it.  It`s been more of a nuisance than anything else.  Hope all of you are staying well.
