Today's challenge is to be inspired by a fairytale. You need to check out the gallery - it's amazing! Most people chose happy little fun stories - I chose the scariest story I've ever read. Read about it and the ensuing psychotherapy at this blog post.

Breathtaking. The depth is just astonishing and that you accomplished it with a credit card is crazy! When I tried that technique it did not turn out like this. You ROCK! And, yes, real fairy tales are scary as heck!

What a mystical and magical piece of art Lydia!! I love what this looks like, but am sorry it took something dark to inspire it. Beautiful snowflakes in your created bg colors!! :>)

I agree with you, Lydia! I think most fairy tales are just plain scary! I haven't even been able to come up with a shred of an idea.
But you took something scary and created something so beautiful - the background is unbelievable and the snowflakes are gorgeous! Wow!

Okay Lydia, first of all, this card is over-the-top gorgeous! Secondly, your blog post cracked me up. Thirdly, I'm tempted to read the story, but not sure I will! Thanks for the description of how you did your amazing background!
