Night Sky in Watercolour


I'm playing along with CAS Watercolour challenge which is create a night sky.
I used Lindys Magicals and gold Gansai Tambi water colour paints on hot press watercolour paper. Once it was dry I stamped a tree line stamp from Rubbernecker in Nocturn Versafine Clair and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder.


The close up shows the shimmer of the watercolour powders and paints. It has a bit of Northern Lights effect with the glow behind the trees.


I'm also entering this for the following challenges

This is truly beautiful and a wonderful home decor piece. Or hung on a gallery wall . It is a work of art and the glow is lovely.
