DRAGON DREAM CHALLENGE ZEN

Hello my Lovelies  I'm entering the challenge again with the Dragons, Silvia picked the letter Z with a face, they have some wonderful tags their to inspire you, have a look here, enjoy, maybe even play along..

 I had to put my thinking cap on for this one, when Zen popped into my head, I googled image it and all these zen gardens came up, they were white with circles and black shiny stones with bamboo shoots.

I decided I'd create my kind of garden that would soothe me..

I cut out a piece of water color paper, and my time cards used some of Tim's lemonade, then went over it all with broken china to create a lovely green, trying to create the circles I used the fiber paper (underneath the tag), you can see it better on the back, It got cover up in the front. I stamped tiny bamboo shots all around the frame both sides. I used a pill bottle top with some watered down white paint to create more circles, then some of the paint through some sequin waste. Went over it all again with broken china..

 I stamped zen on another fiber paper podged it on, glued some green glass beads and painted them gold, I used gelato's to dye my seam binding and ribbon, then stamped the bamboo shoot in liquid gold leaf...

 My cute face is a Chinese bee my Sis had photocopied I punched her out, trimmed it in gold, punched out a piece of black card stock and a circle of cardboard to make her sit up. I cut one of the circles of the fiber paper  and put it behind it, I trimmed it all with a gold ink pen, back and front...

 I did almost the same with the back, you can see the circles better here, stamped the bamboo all around the edge and added the word there too

This is my ZEN Garden, hope you liked it, please have a look at all the other tags made, they are fantastic. I love dreaming with the Dragon team....
Have a wonderful weekend, ((( BIG HUGS )))...
