Stamps: Inkylicious Winter Cabin (small), Stag/Deer set 1; Card-io Oriental Blossom;
Media: Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Morning Mist, Blue Belle); Versacolor (Atlantic, Peony, Canary, Green Tea); Posca pen (white); Spectrum Noir sparkle pen (clear); Stickles (Stardust).

My second card today is a simple one layer card which features the larger cabin inside a bauble, but this time I tried a different colouring technique for the sky.
I created a card blank suitable for stamping onto directly by simply scoring a 30cm x 15cm piece of Pink Frog super smooth card. I stamped the cabin using Morning Mist VFC and extended the scene with a few small Card-io trees, then masked the cabin and snow line, and created the sky by blending Distress Oxide inks and Memento, working outwards from light to dark. I also blended ink to define the bottom of the bauble and created snowdrifts with torn paper. I painted the cabin roof and added accents to the scene plus snowfall with white Posca pen, then outlined the bauble with a Sakura Stardust pen. I stamped the pine branches and sentiment, then added Stickles and Spectrum Noir sparkle pen for sparkle. This card is much sparklier than the picture suggests!
