This is my challenge entry to Latte chan's challenge "i want something real"

I found this lovely image in shutterstock >link<

lately, i'm running out of ideas and inspiration so in an attempt to get it back i was just looking at images and this one combined with the challenge idea inspired me to make a card =)

All editing (texture addition, custom shapes, streaks etc..) done in PS7.

i dedicate this to Alexa chan =)
