Creating landscapes on cards...

Hello friends, I am back with my usual style of masking, inking and creating landscape. The first is a set of cards, I created for The challenge A Blog Named Hero #32 - GAME, SET MATCH :) Here's my set of cards...


            
This set shows the rising of the sun and the movement of the bird. This was created by masking and inking. The silhouette was a handmade mask. The sun was also made by masking. Besides, I added few stamps... Leaves (from Studio G-iClear mini stamps), Bird (from Prima Stamp set) and sentiment (from Paper Sweeties - you make me smile set). The same process was repeated in all the cards, however the combination and strength of s specific color was changed. Hope you like it :)

My second card is inspired by a wall paper on my iphone, yesterday we got an updated iOS 7 and with that came these awesome wall papers, I have tried to case one of these... sadly I am unable to attach the picture.
To make this card, I was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #46 and by the colors at Festive Friday FFC17.
To make this I did two tone inking on my card panel. I cut out a few leaves from my Nestabilities Foliage Die set and turned them into the trees here. Finally did some shading to create shadow of the trees in water using my Pastel pencils and smeared some silver and blue glitter with my paint brush to create the snowy look. That's it :), it was fun making these ...
