It's Day 5 of Get Your Mojo Back - 7  ATC's in Seven Days, an event by Oddball Stamps Co. 

The theme for Day 5 is Advice to Yourself.

If I could do this I would say: Belive in your Dreams. Sometimes we start thinking that our dreams are not worth the time or the effort and energy.  This is something I have to keep in mind.

Made an ATC featuring Image: Adrienne The Magical One Creepy Cute Printable Stamp Set Image No 451 and colored with Prisma coloring pencils.

Mixed media background started with a base of beautifully marbled paper using the shaving cream technique and Distres Ink Sprays.

It was the cut into strips and using a paper piecing technich created the base for the ATC.

Added Washi tape and did dry embossing and the added gold leaf wax paste.

Loving the background.
