If I've done the ghosting technique, it's been a long time ago. All you do is stamp with Versamark on glossy white cs, let it dry (you get better images if it's fairly dry) and then sponge on dye ink. I used Distress inks in blues and purples, attempting to get it dark enough for the ABC challenge: D for dark. I used jet black Stazon for the flowers at the bottom and the word 'dream' is there. Most of my dreams are very dark, not very much fun. They feel like they last forever, I'm sure they don't. I'm always happy to wake up from them.

I agree with Kathy ... you've created such a eerie and spooky atmosphere! Love the addition of the flowers at the base of your panel!

Jean your card definitely has a ghostly look to it. I love the BG you created for your horse and stars. Great sentiment too. Thanks for playing in my challenge and getting “spooked”. Happy day and hugs

Oh, ick, I'm sorry you have bad dreams. I rarely do, only when I'm stressed. I think this is a great night scene - I've just finished a jigsaw puzzle of the celestial planisphere, and all the galaxies had luminous paint so it glows in the dark. This reminds me of it very much, with the outline drawings of the constellations and the luminous glow.

Your ghosting technique turned out wonderfully. What beautiful colors you used and lovely texture you got too. Sorry you have dark dreams, hopefully sweet dreams will be to you soon.

This is super cool! I have never tried this technique but want to - especially after seeing this.
Hoping for happy and colorful dreams coming your way. My problem with dreams is somehow I am in them in the background saying things like I am not young anymore, which confuses my dream character or I wake up. Not sure why I want to be ruining dreams of being younger! Craziness. Hugz
