After{image}

 

This may sound strange, but.....

As I was driving home from work yesterday the sun was in front of me.  As the sun came through the trees, the leaves blocked the light behind them, but the bright light between them was still visible.

When I closed my eyes, this left me with the coolest afterimage!

The spots where the leaves were was a turquoise-blue.  A few were white.

The spaces between appeared as a deeper, darker blue.

It was really quite beautiful!

This card is my interpretation of that afterimage.

 

 

On a piece of white cardstock I added pool ink with a distress tool over the entire surface.

Then I clear embossed a few images in a random pattern {most clear, but a few white}.  After melting the embossing powder, I repeated the first step, this time with tide pool ink. Again I added a few more embossed images and went in with broken china ink. 

 

I couldn't waste this piece, so I made another card using the negative.

 

 

 

So now that you are convinced I am totally strange..lol!

Do you know what I mean? Have you ever seen these cool afterimages?

Thanks for stopping by!
