M for Moon


I should be writing Christmas cards but thought I'd get my postcard done for the Craft Barn's Alpha Dictionary Challenge - the penultimate letter is M.   I'm a bit short of bold blue postcards in my set so that decided the colour scheme .....and what goes better with blue than MOON.

Please feel free to sing along whilst reading this!!  


The background is a mix of Distress Inks with a masked moon and I've created the rays by lifting the colour off with some water.   I'm afraid my moon isn't exactly round but  just see it as a hazy corona!!  I've added some Musical Score stamping to keep you singing along plus the dictionary definition and M Thicker letter.

Quick and easy this time and only P to go - might have to make a head start on that as the next letter is due Christmas Day. Thanks for visiting and for all your lovely comments!

  5. Yep, now I've got that song in my head, too. Your moon is fantastic and I so enjoyed reading how you created it. Once in a blue moon, a piece stands apart from others. That's how I would describe your postcard today.

  11. It's simple but effective and yes I'm singing (in my head!) although I'm not sure I'm singing the same as everyone else! Enjoy this special day!

  12. A beautiful postcard. I love the hazy effect you have created around the moon. I'm singing "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" but I think everyone else is singing "Blue Moon"!
