Quill Cottage Challenge!

Sandy at Quill Cottage challenged her readers to make a project with some images she posted.  I haven't done anything like this before and since she allowed me plenty of time, I thought...why not??  I chose a little girl with roses, since I love roses.  We were also instructed to add "Dream" somewhere on the creation, one of my favorite words!  So I got busy, made a fun mess pulling out lots of goodies to create with and ended up with this collage.  I added some chalk to the picture to accent the roses, leaves, and her dress & scarf.  I chalked around the picture in light blue, as well as the pink mat.  I inked around each element also in black after using victorian scissors.  I stamped on aqua binding the word "Dream", one letter at a time, since I don't have that small of stamp with the complete word.  I used some vintage lace, crushed velvet ribbon, buttons, crochet tiny pink doily, paper flowers, silk roses, tiny blue accent flowers, and porcelain daisies.  I also added some bling from a rhinestone bracelet and a star with pearls.  The final touch was writing "Dream" all over the printed background in a glitter pen that only shows the glitter, no color. 

I had so much fun doing this and I know that many talented ladies are about to show off their creations too.  I can't wait to see what everyone came up with.  Be sure and visit Sandy at Quill Cottage, if you don't already know her.  She is so talented and you couldn't meet anyone sweeter.  I'm happy to have met her in blogland!

Blessings,
Cindy
