Clearly Besotted December Teasers Day 4

Hello lovely blog visitors, how are you today? I said today’s post was about heading towards a celebration and the set I’m showing today is called ‘Year Of You’. It contains all the animals for each Chinese Year of the … plus a few other elements too. When I saw the set it made me think of many scenes that I’ve seen with people letting off Chinese lanterns, so I created this.

It’s actually quite hard to make a realistic backdrop…and you may not want to try and replicate this as it took a load of colouring and it didn’t even look smooth. It looks streaky! I suspect that if I’d added a few more layers then maybe it would have ended up looking much better.

This little guy is sat on a jetty somewhere gazing into the night sky. I’ve used the little tiger. Isn’t he adorable.

You can see the pencil markings above, I was trying to make it look like the glow of the lanterns. I added gold stars and white gel pen for a little more atmosphere.

It’s amazing how you can take two small images and conjure up a whole card with them. They may be small, but they are mighty!!
