Monster Dreams

Here’s another background sky I tried to make after having success with the last one behind Tilda. I wanted to try a sunset, however, the colors didn’t work out so I started adding browns and blacks to create a nighttime sky. Once the coloring was done I added stars with a white pen.

Did you know? Ondines are elementals, enumerated as the water elementals in works of alchemy by Paracelsus. Ondines are said to be able to gain a soul by marrying a man and bearing his child. The German folktale of Ondine, a water nymph who curses her unfaithful husband to cease breathing if he should ever fall asleep again, is the basis for “Ondine’s Curse,” the historical term for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, in which the afflicted lose autonomic control over breathing, placing them at greatest risk when they are asleep.

  1. We love BlueBell ice-cream in the midwest, too, although it isn't easy to find. I'm guessing strawberry? Really cute card. Thanks so much for sharing at the SSCC 'pink' challenge. C2
