I found this Scrapaholics Chipboard - Catch Your Dream - an amazing element to work with.  At approximately 8" x 2 3/4", it stands alone as a perfect embellishment.

I used assorted Ranger Distress Oxide Inks to add color - Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, Ground Espresso, and Mowed Lawn as my first layer of color.

I added Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Faded Jeans for a final color.

Once all the colors were added, I added Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  Since I am forever getting embossing powder and glitters all over the place, I found the Sizzix - Making Essentials Anti Static Funnel Tray by Tim Holtz invaluable!  Now all my powders stay within the confines of the Funnel Tray and easily pour back into the original jar.

I wanted to add this piece to a journal and the store has tons of journals you can use to document your dreams.  To add a touch of color to the background I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays.  Each set of sprays are highly pigmented and achieve amazing results.   

What a great way to remind yourself of what it is you want to achieve/do in your life.   Alternatively, you could even use this piece on a canvas and hang on the wall so you see it every day as a reminder of what you are chasing.
