A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

 Hello all! I've been trying to challenge myself to make cards that are a little more... sophisticated. Grown up. LOL  I really love "cute" stuff - I tend to gravitate my art towards that and sometimes when I'm looking for a card in my stash to send, I realize cute won't work! So I decided to do something about that! Here's one I made that I really love - I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon - River of Dreams

Die Cut Divas - New Crafty Supplies (my dream catcher die)

A Cut Above - Anything Goes with Die Cuts

Moving Along with the Times - Stencils or Dies

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Emboss It!


I tend to make a TON of backgrounds and just hoard them - LOL - sometimes I like to play with alcohol inks on Yupo, other times I like to play with Distress Oxide Inks, and other times I like to get out my Lindy's Magicals! For this card, I used 2 background that I had made with blue shades of Lindy's Magicals. I finally used my new Dream Catcher die cut from Hero Arts - I die cut the feathers from one of the backgrounds and used the other to attach it to. I used some Versafine Clear with gold embossing powder on a piece of watercolor paper to die cut the moon part. I finished it off with a sentiment sticker from a Tim Holtz book. Peace.

  2. Your card is beautiful! And, it looks very grown up too. :)

    I love the sentiment. That was one of my favourite songs growing up.

    Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon for our "River of Dreams" challenge this week!
