There are countless poems about childhood, but I thought this quote by Cynthia Ozick (an American author) was very appropriate for a crafting challenge!
What we remember from childhood we remember forever - permanent ghosts, stamped, inked, imprinted, eternally seen.
For an ethereal effect I used glossy card as a base, and sponged on some Distress Inks, then spritzed some cling film and scrunched it on top. A little stamping using the same colours finished the background. Yes, I used that dandelion seeds stamp again - once found, never forgotten!
Happy days!
Oh Kay, that is a gorgeous piece!! The dandelion seed always invokes memories of childhood with me. I love what you have done :D :D
ReplyDeleteI love the feeling of movement you have created with your text. A lovely depiction of your quote.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely agree with scrapmate, great movement. It's so dreamy like the way we think of our childhood.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quote and page.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Scrapmate. Your quote is wonderful, and the way you displayed it is great. I've used that same technique before, but NEVER on glossy cardstock. It made all the difference in the world.
ReplyDeleteFabulous - love the quote, it's perfect. The stamp is gorgeous, I want one, lol!! Love your use of glossy card, something I rarely do these days....
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of stamp, love the dandelion heads stamp, so delicate and "real"! The page works really well with a nice quote and ethereal background.
