OSAAT CHALLENGE - DT PROJECT

Yes - two posts in one day again, but things will be back to normal very soon!!
The challenge at OSAAT this week is "Inspiration from a photo":-
and I chose this beautiful "Lady Klimt" image of Claire's (Hope Jacare), which is available to purchase from Stitchy Bear Stamps. 
******
I printed the image onto white card and coloured the background with Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed Distress Inks, swirled on with a shaving brush (AKA an Ink Duster!) 
The image is coloured here and there with Copics, and mounted onto black card.
I used Yellow Bazzill cardstock and an Anna Griffin template to make the bag.
Added two lengths of satin ribbon - one green, one black, to secure the opening.
The  bag charm was made with punched circles glued back-to-back to create a "sandwich", with a thread through the centre and a couple of beads at the bottom.
*******
I would like to enter this project into these challenges -  Cute Daisy May - Any shape but square and Everybody Art - A Bag or A Box.
Thanks for visiting - have a fabulous Sunday.

I love your image. You have done a beautiful job with your colors. I don't like working with fall colors when SPRING is in my mind. But this is really pretty.

Whata gorgeous image, Sylvia. I spotted it was one of Claire's as soon as I saw it and you've coloured it beautifully. Those autumn colours suit it so well don't they. I love the bag charm too, what a great idea.
Looking forward to catching up with you soon.

Beautifully elegant Sylvia, the circles dangler (technical term for it) complement the bag perfectly.
Very restful colours that reflect the photo's balance completely.
Have you noticed (if it wasn't intentional) that you've completely reflected the percentage ratio of colours in the photo, right down to the 15% of the darker tree trunk in the green bow??
