The theme this month is 'Once Upon a Dream or Nightmare' and I gave this a lot of thought, leaning towards a darker themed card, but somehow this little wall hanging is what happened!.
I painted an MDF heart with gesso, then used Distress inks in shades of deep blue to colour the background, adding Nuvo Glimmer paste through a stencil. The wording is hand written with a white gel pen. I coloured the beautiful Stars image using copics and glitter gel pens, then fussy cut it, adhered it in place. I added crushed glass glitter round the edges and a few die cut stars.
The hanging stars are die cut and attached with beaded wires.
I hope you like my project, I had a lot of fun making it.
Thank you Mitzi and the team for inviting me to join you this month.
