Dreams come true

Happy February!  I can't believe it's here already!  But, since it is, it's time for another challenge from the Love To Craft Challenge Blog.  This month the challenge is:  Anything Goes with the optional twist of Monochromatic.

Our fabulous sponsor for this month is The Paper Shelter

Here is the card I created using one of The Paper Shelter's adorable images:

I think natural hair and skin colors are acceptable with monochromatic color schemes, so I used the optional twist as well.  I did color the pumpkin orange originally, but it was just too much, so I colored another image and added it on top.  I added some wink of stella for a nice sparkle, because if a magic pumpkin can be blue (it is magic after all), then it definitely would be sparkly!  I also added the wink of stella on her glass slipper and the punched out pumpkin.  You can see the sparkle in the photo below.

I had a couple punched out pumpkins in my bits and pieces stash that I figured I would have to wait until Fall to use.  But as the image has a pumpkin in it, I realized a pumpkin would be the perfect embellishment.  So, I colored one up to match the one in the image and added some die cut leaves, vines and a flourish.  I thought the image looked a little plain, so I used the same gold pen that I colored her crown with to add a frame around the square.  Just enough!  I finished everything off with a few rhinestones and a fun sentiment treatment.

I hope you will get a chance to play along with us the month.  Hop on over to the LTSCB blog to check out all the details and see what the rest of the DT created.
