Do you know what the Sandman sprinkles into your eyes as you drift to sleep? Why it's stardust that turns into "Happy Moments" of course! And who is that little helper -- it's bunny who gathers stardust in the Fairy Garden!
I have another card today that I am entering into the WT749 You've Been Framed Challenge, AND the F4A491 Base + One Challenge. Thank you to Sabrina and Jeanne for hosting these challenges.
This piece features a way to meet both challenges in a different way. Framing this piece is done by using some blue tape to mask an area that allows under painting as well as creating a beautiful wide border. For the F4A491 it is the second layer over the primary card base. This technique really provides that 3D look into the magical land of make believe.
I hope I've inspired you to create with imagination in mind as you step into the land of storybook characters!

This is amazing! Just... wow... don't mind me, picking my jaw up off the floor here.
Seriously, a beautiful card. Your watercoloring is beautiful and I love how you simply framed your piece by using the masking tape to hold the paper down while you painted to act as the frame. The leaves & bunny in the foreground take this to a whole new level. Saving this for inspiration!!
