For this card I used a photo I took out of the airplane window on my last trip back to the UK for the DP paper which I then embossed with and Embossilicious Embossing Folder. The text on the front of the card was added to the DP paper before printing. I used the same image and embossing folder for the inside of the card too.
I went to town with my Cherry Lynn Designs dies using three different ones. I just love the dream-catcher and this is the first time I have used it. I decided to use silver glitter paper for the dream-catcher and other silver items on the card to represent the fact that every cloud has a silver lining (so if you have rotten dreams just remember they can only get better <g>)
Other dies I used were Cherry Lynn Tropical Flourish and Mimi Butterflies - oh and how I love my mini butterflies, one of the best dies I have, just so versatile. When cutting all the dies I used waxed paper to help release them and have kept these wax bits to add to the card. I was trying to create a delicate floaty effect lol.
Feathers were added to the feather areas on the dream-catcher and pearls too. Liquid Pearls were used in other areas.

Mimi what an absolutely stunning card. I love the fact you used a photograph you had taken to make your own designer paper and all the details are just beautiful. The dream catcher is superb and the swirls and butterflies really fit the overall 'dream' theme of your card so very well. Thanks for joining us at Ooh La La Creations.
