Who lies beneath your spell?

Todays post is a little one with only one card. You know I love the story telling element of my craft and today  the sentiment  I found said  "Who lies beneath your spell?"   Imagine what the story could be, especially when you see the image I used and the fragments with the numbers...maybe she's a fortune teller?
The jewel tone colors and the gold filagree (from an upside down doiley and german scrap) fit the color challenge for Gingersnap Creations GC# 92. This week I painted the background, not something I usually do, a shimmer green color and added glitter, plus I colored the gold papers to add additional jeweled accents. Using the plastic fragments was for the "Compendium of Curiosities" Challenge at Studio L3 CCC#34 called Dimensional Collage Fragments check out page 63 from Tim Holtz's book. Well that's my little project for today, hope you found it mesmerizing........  Artfully yours, Gerri.

    Gorgeous, I love the gold! gold is a color I don't use very often, you are ingenious for turning the heart doily into the background for the arch!!

    Ooh, this is absolutely enchanting, Gerri! I love that mysterious lady with her rich colors and lovely shrine. The Fragment collages are PERFECT for this piece. She's either a fortune teller or a physicist, that's for sure!

    This is wonderful, my dear@
