On to my creation!

This is another new one from Gary Roberts and I just love the "dreaminess" of it. Just reminds me of a fairy tale. Do you see Prince Charming peeking out from the castle? ;-)  This stamp is called Swan Castle and the sentiment -- added with the help of an oval punch --  is also a new one too called Follow your Dreams.  Both were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento and then my image was colored up with Copic Markers. (YG63, YG01, B0000, YR04, YR07, RV32, RV34, V01,V04, V06, E31, W03, W05, R29, BG11, BG13, BG15) You can't tell, but I did add some sparkle to the image thanks to a Stardust Gelly Roll Pen. Mat it onto some Echo Park and BasicGrey decorative paper,add a 1/2" melon ribbon (it's actually Hug Snug Seam Binding),some crochet lace and... voila!

You can see all of the new images by clicking HERE. If you want a chance to win some, however, don't forget to start at the IO blog, hop and comment on all the DT members posting each day this week!

Have fun and happy hopping! I'll see ya back here tomorrow!
