This is my design team entry for our third main challenge at
Bella Creations. The
April Muse challenge uses this lovely
Gecko Galz image of a woman swinging in front of the moon. This is one of the images from their newly released
Paper Moon ephemera set. I
fussy cut her out and hung the flower ropes of the swing inside the little shrine ATC that I made.
The Bella Muse challenge is to use the image in any form of art you choose.
Not only do you get this free image for your artwork, you also may be the challenge winner, by random draw, of this amazing prize from this month's sponsor,
Scraps of Darkness.

More about my ATC:
I made a shrine ATC using a matchbox. I learned this technique from the tutorial we had in March in my
Oh La La group at
Bella Creations. The tutorial was provided by one of our members, Lesley D.
I painted the box black and put inside a scrap of black paper with silver dots (hard to see in the photo). I used some punchinella (sequin waste) as a stencil and stamped silver ink on the ATC. Then I used some delicate black trim to frame the inside of the box. I added some ribbon and netting from a veggie bag as well as a Petaloo flower.
I hope to see you this month, at
Bella Creations, entering any or all of the three challenges that I've shown you in my three latest posts. Great Challenges! Great Prizes! Great Fun!
