Horrorscope and HDH with Delicious Doodles

It's the second week of our journey into the realms of the astrological plain at Haunted Design House. Teri, another of the HDH minions and her Delicious Doodles are sponsoring this fortnights challenge of

Astrological Atrocities

There are almost a complete set of Horoscope images and their darker counterparts "The Horrorscopes".
The shop is a must to visit - all genres catered for!!

My project is "just" a simple card. I couldn't and wouldn't want to detract from this fabulous image.
I chose "Pisces" as this is my birth sign. The image was copied and rotated to show the two fish as per tradition. That's where tradition stops though. Eight duplicate images were also printed and coloured so that I could decoupage up the delightful little fish.
 The ribbons are all from stash. The base card of a mucky green was given a black mat before some sanded coredinations (pre-embossed). Then the image - also with a black mat.

The image, as I said was printed onto the base card but before all the pieces were added it was given a bath in different distress inks

and showing the layers a bit better.
I need a new blade in my knife now, lol.

There's still a few days left to get those entries in peeps.

I'd like to enter my card into the challenge at
