Spinnin' Tails

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Welcome to the Smeared and Smudged Members Blog Hop to view projects from several talented ladies at S&S Forum. The list of participants is to your right -->

For my project, I made a birthday card for my future son-in-law Cody who is turning 24. He has a beautiful sleeve of skulls so I thought he might enjoy these skellies. I used one of the new rubber images from Smeared Ink by Misty Benson. Yes, I know it's the Death card, but it's also a card of rebirth, and each year we have the opportunity to re-invent ourselves. I stamped the image on a grey cardstock, colored it with Prismacolor pencils, Fabrico markers and Pitt pens. The Happy Birthday & fun is from Making Memories, and the Time Flies & Where Does the Time Go? are Dimensional accents from ??. I printed out the "partay" senti & deckle edged, colored with Ranger's distress ink in Brick. The little calendar is from 7 gypsies and the flower from Prima.

As a side note, I crocheted him a beanie using my handspun wool in grey and black. Tried to scan it, fail... Found my camera & am charging up the batteries to take pics. Anyway, I hope you liked the card and leave a comment if you wish. Now off you go to hop to my S&S Sisters' sites and leave them some love. The list is to your right. Have a wonderful day! Dianne

Which Dungeons & Dragons Character Am I?

I Am A: Lawful Neutral Elf Mage Ranger

Alignment:
Lawful Neutral characters believe in the triumph of law and order above all else. It does not matter whether the leader is for good or evil; the leader will be followed, because the order they provide is the most important thing.

Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.

Primary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.

Secondary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Deity:
Azuth is the Lawful Neutral god of wizards and mages. He is also known as the High One, and is the Patron of Wizards. His followers believe that a systematic approach to magic is the best, and they strive for calm and caution in order to avoid accidents. They wear shimmering robes, and are well-versed in magic, as well as typical priest spells. Azuth's symbol is a hand with a raised, glowing index finger.
