I liked the rainbow colors and also how they were somewhat muted with the addition of the black in this image here.
Die cut a rectangle, masked for my moon, and sponged the bg. I love how the addition of the black mutes the colors. Removed the mask, added a bit of shadowing on the moon with gray, then stamped my new Gina K Designs image (love this!), splattered the bg with water, blotted with paper towel, splattered white acrylic paint and then some diluted black for more interest. Matted this panel, attached to card front and stamped sentiment.

Wow, Maura! That background is gorgeously amazing, the black sponging was the perfect addition to give it a soft glow. That new stamp is ideal and I love how you have showcased it here.

OMGosh, Maura...this is such a beyond WONDERFUL piece of art! Super great rainbow-colored, sponged, and splattered bg. Your masked, then gray touches makes it truly realistic and glow as on a full-moon look! Your new silhouette, stamped foliage and dragonfly bring the whole piece to life! Just WOW, WOW, WOW!
