So it’s time for another challenge – the colour Q challenge. Lots of colour!

I know that this screams Halloween, but as usual, I wanted to go somewhere else. I tried making an autumn sky but ended up with the foreground not being right. I switched to a White Christmas scene, but my Critique Board (thanks Jen!) pointed out that an autumn sky didn’t really fit with a December Arctic scene and suggested more of an aurora borealis. I sponged on more rich razzleberry and basic black as well as some glitter and spots of white craft ink in the sky and this is where I ended up:

I had previously had a polar bear on this card but, thinking about Voltaire, removed him. I really like how the sky is so dramatic but having googled pictures of the aurora borealis realise that my card is but a pale copy of the real thing. The photos that I’ve seen as so outrageous as to feel imaginary!
