Make a Wish

Today is the start of a new challenge by the Stella Team at the  Aurora Wings Challenge Blog, the theme this time is 'Make a Wish'.

When I think of making a wish it takes me to my childhood and blowing the seeds from a dandelion, so right off I knew I needed a dandelion on my project.  Like most little girls I also wished I could be a ballerina, now I just wish I didn't have 2 left feet and could dance, so that set the theme for me.

I have used 'Flower Ballerina' and coloured her in shades of blue with my Copics.


I layered her onto some spellbinders dies in complementary blues.

I then found a great quote from the silhouette store that I wanted to use along side my dandelion, so made an easel card, the top dark blue layer is actually embossed with roses, its a little hard to see in the photos.


First I used a metallic gel pen in my Cameo machine to sketch the dandelion and then cut the quote in Navy Vinyl and distressed the edges with adirondack stormy sky.


I used a diamonte embellishment to hold the card upright and finally added a rose and some hanging gems.

We would love to see you over at the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog, where my team mates have some lovely inspiration for you.
