In the mood for dancing

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are having a good week.  An interesting week for all of you who have children going back to school - i hope its going well.

Todays card is another fold back DL (slimline) After making an 8x8" card from a sheet of A3 i have a DL size left which is quite good.   


Card approx 4x8" , i folded the front of the card back on itself -  I like doing that at the moment as it gives me more room to build a scene. I covered with a soft pastel cloud effect paper &  die cut both end edges with a scalloped edge die.  I then mixed some white mica powder in with a clear medium and put through a cow print stencil onto the background - you can see the mica more when the light hits it.....im trying to find ways to use all the pots of mica i collected many years ago and this seems to work quite well.
I stamped my cows and coloured with inktense pencils and then cut them out.  I stamped the quote and cut it up, i cut some curved borders from a green paper to use as grass and i then arranged them all on my base. I doodled in a little grass under my cows and a few glitter and glossy accent highlights to finish.

Showing how the rest of my scene carries on behind the front panel

 
just a close up, you can see the glossy mica stencilling behind my cow
