This weeks' challenges graciously provided by James Geddes. Can you feel the chill of winter inside this cabin?

Happy creating.

Thanks Danny, this turned out to be more fun than I first expected. Took me back to graphic work I enjoyed doing previously.

I selected all of the window panes and on
a new layer filled with white at 50% on dissolve.
Merged.

Added other graphics and shadows in their own layers
so that they could be deformed and moved individually.
Merged all.
Added some light around candles.
Duped layer and added Hot Wax Coating
which gave it an olde world appearance
on Soft Light Mode.

Added a slight Watercolour effect
reduced normal mode 50%.

Added some text.

I also cropped it at some stage?

p.s. apologies for the blurry text, had to compress too much!

Neve, This is Simply lovely! I've forgotten about the winter chill and now only feel the warm glow of Christmas...lets bring out the mulled wine and celebrate this season of joy!

Oh Yes....I'll be in that too....!!!! I enjoy doing this sort of scene probably because my last white Xmas would have been in 1969(in Scotland). I'm in Western Australia since then and our Xmas Day's are normally warm/hot. I can't complain about that as we're just metres from the beach.

I'm looking forward to your rendition BTW....yours are always enjoyable to view!

Cheers
