♪♪Once upon a time♪♪


Once upon  a time, a long time ago, my dream was to 
be able to play some sort of musical instrument...
The only instruments I played with was during my
nursing career, assisting the doctors...
Here is my take on the challenge at
Aurora Wings...Once upon a time


My image was coloured with a combo of prisma colour pencils, polychromo pencils, and  blended with baby oil...
[I do use many pencils, stumps and the baby oil...]

Dylusion sprays for my background.
Beautiful image  is called  HEARTSTRINGS
challenge

Oh aNNie, this card is so sweet and amazing!!! Such fabulous image and your colouring looks spectacular!!
Don't forget your dreams, you could still play a musical instrument, if you really want! There are some instruments easy to play, as the xylophone...
Big hugs my friend!!

A wonderful card! I am sadly not very musical - just enjoying music - but I can't sing and can't play any musical instrument and I am also not good in dancing. But it is as it is!

Hugs, Susi
