 Hi there, I'm Sandy Alnok, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube, and I struggled with what to call this light source focal points in scenes, is what I settled on, it's part of a blog hop for Sunny Studios stamps, and I'm going to use two different stamp sets, this one has all these great bears in it, they're really fun and I'm going to have some fun coloring them all winter, and I also have the little church and the little city and the church's size perfectly for the little buildings and the cars and everything, so I'll do two scenes with that, I'm not going to color them here, but I'm just going to talk through them, and they also have these little snow that are new stamps, and if you're one of those who likes to stamp those in the background, just want to make you aware of those. This one I made my focal point with the light in the center right over the bear, so the bear I had to put his little gift in his little hands, he doesn't come that way, and I masked out the bottom of him, I just actually kind of wiped off the stamp so I could make him sit in the snow, made my horizon line, and then I added my trees, a bunch of birch trees and things, and sort of rainbow colors, which came out really really pretty. This next one has a background that was from the autumn scenes class, if you've taken that one you'll recognize this, the light is over here on the warm hug sentiment, and there's just a little bit of highlight of the light on the bear himself, but it's really focusing on the sentiment, and putting the trees around it, I have a little cascading shadow, just a real soft little one off the side there, and added some snow to it to make it a winter scene instead of an autumn scene. This one was a little complex to stamp, and I'll explain how I did it, but the only part of the white paper that's showing is the little highlights on the car and the headlamps, and everything else, the rest of that snow is all blue, the snow on the ground is blue, to make that focal point on the light really important, just different shades of blue. To stamp on a hillside, you have to imagine the, what's the shape of the road, what's the angle of it? I had to stamp the lanterns three times, going up the hill along a basic street, but each one of the houses has to stay vertical, and what I did was tear paper so that I could sort of mask off some snow, snow banks on the side of the road, and then I just drew in my trees from there, and added lots of snow on top. And finally, this one, which came out really pretty too, used the same buildings, and used a beautiful background from one of the scenes classes as well, but my focal point of the light is in the middle, but that light is shining on the hillside in the background, instead of in the front. So there's just little teeny tiny highlights on a few of the bits of snow on the buildings, and then the streaks that are coming in between the buildings, coming forward, and then everything else is just in shadow across there. And the trees in the back, just are a really soft setting in the far distance for this beautiful shaft of light coming down. Isn't that pretty? So beautiful how these cards came out.
