Believe in Your Dreams: A Bella Muse Creation

I'm lovin' working with the Bella Creations July main kit, Southern Charm.  You can get all the details about the July kit from my previous post HERE.  

The Bella Muse challenge is to use this image in any art form you choose. And there is an awesome prize to be won by random draw!  I altered a frame to create a "stage" for the muse image provided by Gecko Galz, one of Bella Creations' sponsors.

I've seen many beautiful "stages" in cyberland, and couldn't wait to try my hand at it.  So thank you to all who have inspired me.

This altered frame also qualifies for:
Bella Creations l'art a transformé group challenge, to use some cloth, hosted by DT Starr Timmons
Joan's Garden Challenge  to alter a frame

From the Kit:
Melissa Frances pp: Hattie (on frame), Flora (scallop across top of frame)
tiny pink iridescent plastic flowers and pearl gems across top
fabric for curtain
white shimmer leaf
tiny pink IAMROSES

From the Add-on Kit:
small tag behind flower
word tag "Believe"

Additional Materials:
image from Gecko Galz Tiny Dancers ephemera set -- our Bella Muse for the month of July
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber: Lake Mist
inexpensive craft wood frame from Ikea
Prima Floral Pink
Jacquard InkJetPrinting Cotton Sheets
Websters Pages designer trim
butterfly from Melissa Bove
Weathered Wood and Shabby Shutters Ranger Distress Inks

Here is the prize for the random draw Bella Muse challenge, this month sponsored by our own DT Cathy:
