Loreley as a Pearl for AWNB


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...

  1. 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 :)

  2. Your Loreley is certainly not depressing! Love the idea of adding the stars from the digi as seperate elements.

  5. No 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!

  8. Lori, 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.
