Crafting Passions: Craft a Scene Challenge #3

Hello everyone! I have been creating a little today and one of the cards I finally finished is my DT card for the new challenge over at Craft a Scene. The theme this month is Moonlight. We need to make a card that shines a little moonlight on our surroundings.

My card features a new stamp I purchased from Sutter Stamps and leftover pieces of my My Minds Eye Stella Rose paper pack.

I tried one of Sandy's techniques of masking the moon space and then applying color. I cut the moon shape from my Spellbinders small circle. I used Adirondack Lettuce and Meadow to color the greenery. I wasn't quite happy with the effect so I added a little Copic G17 to the stalks and the lily pads. The blues are Cloudy Blue, Denim and Stream. A white gel pen added the water highlights.
