Not quite. But Child of Alara can severely neuter Bruna, Light of Alabaster for a turn. The chink in this list is Indestructibility. Here is a ruling for that aura that should answer your question:

10/1/2009 If an effect would simultaneously destroy Indestructibility and the creature it's enchanting, only Indestructibility is destroyed.

So, this means that everything attached to Bruna will be destroyed, but she will remain to attack the next turn, bringing back everything you just destroyed.

Also note: Hyena Umbra is a second chink in your plan.

6/15/2010 Totem armor's effect is applied no matter why the enchanted permanent would be destroyed: because it's been dealt lethal damage, or because it's being affected by an effect that says to "destroy" it (such as Doom Blade). In either case, all damage is removed from the permanent and the Aura is destroyed instead.

Because of these two cards, Bruna will live to fight another day.
