"Scene Building" at Clarity stamp Challenge

Good afternoon,

I have decided to give it a go.....But still not over impressed with what I have done. Really need more practising!!!

Clarity Stamp Challenge, has a new challenge for this month, and it's "Scene Building".  I have used the following stamps for my card: Set of 3 Repositionable trees, I have used the smallest one for the hedge along the road with Expresso Adirondack Ink, Kids and Sledge with black Archival Ink and Santa and His Sleigh with black Archival Ink.




I have used a "post-it" to make my moon, and have drawn the road by hand. For the raod I have used Slate Adirondack Ink, and for the sky, I have used Cloudy Blue Adirondack Ink.

After beeing to the NEC, where the lovely Barbara Gray showed me how to use the brayed, I have decided to go.....And after 3 disastered attempts, I had to give up.....And made my sky (as well as the road) with some make-up sponges.

not really sure if you can see it, but under the kids and sledge, I have also used the top of the tree used alog the road, but this time with Stonewashed Adirondack.

I will enter my card in the following challenges :
