Go where you dreams take you.....

Good morning all and welcome to my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image. It's that time of year when Christmas is long past and spring still seems a long way away. I am not a person who ever makes new year resolutions, as we have no idea what is ahead and our life journey often changes direction in a heartbeat. For good or bad one thing in life which is absolutely certain is change. We can still have dreams and we need to keep actively seeking them, even if they need to change a little along the way. To use my creativity to put my feelings into a card, my make today uses the awesome "Where dreams take you".  This set is in my top 5 all time favourites by Visible Image and one of 3 sets which has a version of their iconic eye stamp. The other 2 sets being 2020 vision and See everything.

I used it with the Seeing stars stencil

This is what I got up to; I used a rainbow of distress oxide sprays to make a drippy background, leaving a lot of white space. I then turned it sideways. I cut it down to 4 1/2" by 6 1/2"

I stamped the eye in Versafine clair Nocturne and clear heat embossed

I added the sentiment in the same way on the bottom left.

I took the Seeing stars stencil and using Lumberjack plaid distress ink and a blending sponge added ink through the stars part of the stencil to random areas of the background, avoiding the white of the eye. 

I added blue glitter pen to the iris 

and finally added glossy accents to the whole eye area. Once dry I matted my card onto black card and then a 5" by 7" white card blank.

Here is my finished card;
