This northern lights card was made for Lydia's DTGD challenge. I know northern lights don't exactly look like this in real life, but I liked how colourful it turned out anyway!

Well, I've never seen them in real life, and what matters is that this looks lovely. I used to find this technique really hard because of not knowing what they should look like. I know there are loads of pictures on the internet, and last year they were actually seen in England, which is pretty rare. But I still struggled until a friend sent me a photo of a painting she had. Seems that that degree of removal from a real photo was what helped me most!! The shadows from the trees on your card really add such a feeling of depth to the whole scene.
