Here is another lovely Loreley. Loreley is a feminine water spirit associated with the 120 high meter rock on the eastern bank of the Rhine in Germany. The story goes that Loreley was accused of bewitching men and instead of accepting her sentence of being sent to a nunnery climbed the rock and plunged to her death. Okay, enough of that - I really do not like depressing things!
This Loreley is the creation of Chris from CS Designs. I placed her inside a shell shaped card - she's the pearl, of course! And not depressing, at all.
A few spritzes of glimmer mist created a soft pretty shimmer for the inside of the shell. Come join us at Art With No Boundaries. The theme is always Anything Goes. The bonus round this time is Rhythm of the Sea. You still have a week to link up your projects! So glad you came by...
Gorgeous card, Lori. I love the shell shape with Loreley as the pearl. She is beautifully coloured and looks so natural sitting there. Cool background story, too, although I don't think she really died. She just went to live under the sea :)
ReplyDeleteYour Loreley is certainly not depressing! Love the idea of adding the stars from the digi as seperate elements.
ReplyDeleteWOW! She sure is pretty. I just love your coloring my friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
I love this card. Lorely looks beautiful as the pearl. Your colouring is stunning. Gorgeous art work :o)
ReplyDeleteNo wonder this beautiful image is called Loreley, she's totally appealing, especially after you've coloured her Lori, just gorgeous! Speaking of gorgeous: the Loreley spot in Germany is such a beautiful place, it's indeed mesmerizing!

Fabulous colouring of mythical being and love the card design .
ReplyDeleteNot glimmer mist! I'll bet the cat was covered in it. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery creative!
ReplyDeleteLori, I just read you bio on AWNB and discovered you're from my hometown--OKC! I left there in 1961, but Oklahoma is in my heart forever.
ReplyDeleteThat is a sad myth, but the card is glorious!! I love seeing this style from you. :D
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done -- throw myself to my death over a man - are you kidding me!!!!! I ordered some of these images cause I like your creations so much.
