A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes...

I love this line from the Disney movie Cinderella which as been used as the sentiment on today's card...
I followed the latest sketch from Donna at bearlymine challenges


I know that i'm really close the the deadline but I can just about scrape in so here it is


The image used is one from the amazing artists at A Day For Daisies called Hepburn Dress which as been coloured using Spectrum Noirs. The papers which are matted onto mirri board are from a HOTP Artsy Collage book that has been in my stash for lord only knows how long but it might give you a hint if I tell you that the copyright on the inside of the front page says 2003 so I think that after 10 years I should put them to some use lol. The sentiment came from this book too. The checked piece used behind the focal image is from a Paper Celler 6x6 stack called 'Checks', there is also a piece of angel hair paper behind that, and a squared of embossed silver card that is hiding behind the flowers, I kinda sized it wrongly when I measured it up not realizing the size of the flowers. The flowers were made up by myself a while ago, the deep purple one in the centre was cut using the XCut Glorious Gerbara dies and the pale one were cut by hand. The flourish by the flowers was cut using the Sizzix Corner Flourish 2 and then cut in half and added at either end of the flowers. The ribbon and button came from my stash. The overall size of my card is 8"x 8".

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project. I really enjoyed this sketch  and am sure it will be one that I will use again.

Wishing you a wonderful evening.
Hugs
