Pinspired Challenge #5

Life is good - I have 2 new members, who joined my blog - yeahhh! I am always so excited when I see somebody new! 

HELLO and WELCOME

Penny

and 

Kristie

I hope you continue to like the cards I make and come by and visit! (I of course had to visit their blogs -both are linked - and wow - what fun and creative cards I discovered there! )

I have a welcome picture for you:

It is from the African artist El Anatsui, which creates these stunning pieces out of scrap metal, such as liquor bottle caps. I recently discovered him in the Newark Museum and showed the piece of art from there in a previous blog post. Funny, that there is now an exhibit of quite a few of his pieces in the Brooklyn Museum. Of course I had to go there and look at them. It is very impressive and definitively worthwhile to see. Perhaps you like it too.

Time to play again !

Thanks to Kelly  - the queen of Quatrefoil  - I now own a Papertrey Quatrefoil die, that I thought would be great to use for the Pinspired Challenge #5

                                                          

It is quite tedious to put in all those little die cuts -I guess Kelly has more patience than I have.....or perhaps she has some tricks, but eventually I managed to make them stay put. So here is my interpretation of the picture:

The sentiment is Hero Arts Sending Smiles Messages.
