Ring - Hello!

This is image Ring - one of Sunday'e new release at DS4J shop this week.

This time instead of copics I used twinkling H2O. Talk about shine. It does take a little getting used to as it is a little bit opaque and wow the shine.

I did use stickles to make those black dots on the pink paper lace and swirls at the top on the orange CS.

DS4J CHALLENGE # 67 – spring has sprung

The challenge #67 this fortnight at DS4J is Spring has Sprung.
Here is the theme (in quotes)

THEME : 'Spring has sprung'. The Northern hemisphere will be celebrating spring! Make a creation/card showing how you enjoy this season, whether it is chasing the lambs in the field, oohing and aahing the new blossoms on the fruit trees, or the fact that you will be seeing more sun! Go for it! The word SPRING should appear somewhere on your card.

Isn't it fun?

Weather this year is so finicky. Feels like winter some days and summer on others.

But it is flowering. Smell of jasmine and roses - Hmmm - Divine!

I have used a pretty image this week called Berry Pixie

Sure was a bit hard to do as I used a thick K&company paper to make the ruffles instead of a thinner pattern paper .Lots of learning curve. Because of all thickness unless you make the card top edges as box like to cover the sides it shows too much. Inspired by Anna Griffin and Christina from Card making magic. Only one change I wish I had made, I wish I had colored the pixies top hat more flower like color instead of leaf like. Guess I thought green would pop up more than the orange when I was doing it.Added lots of stickles for sparkle

P.B. Shelley is one of my favorite poets along with Frost , Wordsworth and Tagore.

Anyone remember Ozymandias? inspired by Ramses statue? One of my earliest reads was seeing it in Times library books - Ancient Egypt.

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away”.

-Percy Blythe Shelly

Oh I so digress from the card.

But this poem always gets me - so humbling isn't it? The Hand of Time.

Graduation time

One more project today with yet another image from this week's release at DS4J shop.
This time I have the image on a bag instead of a card

The bag is recollections paper sack from Micheals. I just added the handles.

The gold CS is from paper and more. The sentiment is a clear stamp I thinks form hero arts.

Now for some challenges to enter this into

Flower Power

We have some lovely images released at DS4J shop this week.
One of the image is flower power
The 60's. Well since I was born in late 60's my knowledge from this period is of course second hand ;)
But this image is so so cute and versatile

Not much to say about the card except see that sort of flower burst on the right - that is from a new memory box die I got. I cut the strip of paper in the center point half way line ( the die is sort of negative cuts - I have layered the orange paper over the blue paper so the blue you see is beneath where the die has cut out the orange) and punched a smaller circle to layer. The flower and swirls are from my stash - (wow I have had it for more than a year and not used it). Image colored with copics and edged with memento chalk ink
