Moonlight Musings

I do enjoy the romantic theme challenges! This is for The Three Muses this week - the theme being"Moonstruck". I built the background from 2 layers of artist papers then added cropped images (background erased and altered) on the woman and fern images. The rubber-stamped moon is from one of my journal pages and the butterflys I created digitally. Gradient filters added.

  2. This is ethereal and mysterious. Did you ever read Gene Stratton Porter's "Girl of the Limberlost", about a young girl who had a secret room in the forest near her home. This somehow reminded me of that book. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent.

  3. Wow! This is something very special, Lori. I can't do better than repeat Bev's adjectives "ethereal and mysterious". I love how the moonlight makes the image glow white amidst all the colour. Fantastic take on the theme.
