I made this for the teapot challenge. It is going to a young lady in Westland, Michigan who is a very talented actress but is having some health issues right now that are interfering with her goals and dreams. I thought and thought and thought some more about what I could do. I didn't really have any stamps that would work so I decided to take this in a bit of a different route than everyone else. I wanted to remind Lauren (as seen as a little girl) that she should never give up on her dreams and that despite what she is going through right now that if she stays hopeful and strong she will accomplish whatever she sets out to do. I hope she likes it. I tried to use some chalks to highlight the embossed areas and not sure it turned out like I wanted. I colored the image with colored pencils, cut it out and applied glossy accents to give her some shine. Added some stars that I cut cut out, as well as some pearls.
