I had made several backgrounds when I was doing the one for the Free for All challenge yesterday. So when I saw the inspiration challenge for today I pulled them out and started looking at the pictures on our inspiration site and looking at the backgrounds to see if I thought one would work. This is the one that seemed to be perfect for a moonlight night scene. The only thing I enhanced on the background is the moon. There was a light spot in the background there so I took a wet brush, brushed it across my whisper white craft ink and made the light spot rounder and gave that area a few feathered clouds. The darker blackberry under the moon was already in the background. Then I stamped the scene in early espresso and painted in the deer in soft suede to cover the green that was showing through. I added a few touches of old olive grass around the deer's feet and that was it. I mounted it on soft suede first and then on a card base of old olive.

Pat, this is FABULOUS! Love the way you enhanced the moon! Your clouds are SO realistic and the blends of purple and green work SO well! I just love this one!
