lacy die cut border

layered flowers

RICK ST DENNIS MAY BLOG HOP

Good morning Smeared Ink Blog Hoppers!

If you arrived here via Aletha's blog - you are in the right place - just where you should be!  If not - click here to start at the beginning.

We're sharing creations using the new Rick St Dennis image called 

"Moon Goddess"

Here is my interpretation:

I coloured the image using Copics and a white gel pen :  

I attemped to get the gown to look transparent with my colouring, and the adornments coloured in green and lilac (isn't the moon made of green cheese?)

To embellish my card I used lots of texture : in the form of jelly star stickers, sequins and  beads :

I love the effect of these lazer cut large size sequins.  This is a better look at  the handbeaded dangle trim:

From here, you hop on along to the fabulously talented Lady Brayton.  

Thanks for stopping here.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

CREATIVE MOMENTS, #17, CIRCLES (lots of lovely circular sequins on my card)
