Reach for the Stars at Mixed Media Monthly

From the minute I heard this song about being a Lost Boy and playing with Peter Pan I have had journal pages and canvases dancing in my head and along comes the challenge "Reach for the Stars"!  Mixed Media Monthly Challenge has Seth Apter as a GDT and he has a fabulous project for you to see!  I just went with a journal spread with some words from the song ( need to Google it and see who sings it but kudos to them!) and added my own drawing of a Peter Panish character and some stamps from Lost Coast Designs that went with my idea.  I took the wings off of Butterfly Face and put them on the little guy even though he only needs some pixie dust a little backup plan just in case :)


Of course some die cut stars to meet the challenge theme!  One even got some wired and beads wrapped to make my floating head a body!
 

Dylusions blue, purple, and some green with some ink sprays through some stencils made up my background. And here is my little guy all colored up with Spectrum Noir markers.  Lots of blingy hearts because all Lost Boys love their fearless leader...including this Lost Boy!


  White lettering that sometimes wants to fade into the background...... The fabulous moon is from Sun and Moon;
 Those Lost Coast Designs stamps really got me started with this one!

I would like to enter this at Mixed Media Monthly Challenge "Reach for the Stars" and I have commented on at least 3 dt members blogs....loving the one with the second star from the right quote of course!
