Hi my lovely crafty friends, hope you're all well.
These late night posts seem to be getting a bit of a habit for me recently so I'll try to keep it short & sweet. This year I found the Alpha Dictionary Challenge over at The Craft Barn. It works like this: every 2 weeks we're given a letter of the alphabet, we than have to create a tag, atc, journal page etc of something beginning with that letter. It has to include the letter/word AND the definition. The 1st letter we were given was B, I chose to make a journal page, think it'll be kinda cool to have an alphabet journal....and I chose the word BUTTERFLY. My background is acrylic paint, I added some light inky stenciling in a couple of colours & whilst still damp a sprinkle of frantage. The next layer is soft, dreamy cheesecloth then the top is the corrugated die cut butterfly which I rubbed with some more acrylic paint. Lastly, I added the glittered chipboard letter B & the dictionary definition.
Can't wait to see what the next letter is! Rightio, better get myself off to bed. Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow.....and don't forget I have a little giveaway HERE....would love you to enter.

Great use of the corrugated cardboard to give the added texture. I have made my entry for the Craft Barn but not happy with it as it needs tweeking a bit. Well actually it needs re tweeking a lot!Lol.

Beautiful card, love the idea of using the cheesecloth :)
ReplyDeleteI would have been here sooner, but I was out of touch with the internet for four days. The worst four days of my life (grin). This is an awesome first entry for the Craft Barn challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love all the texture you got from the corrugated cardboard and the cheesecloth. The background is a real beauty, too. Color me super impressed!
I love your page, it's so peaceful. Did a quick search on frantage as I don't know it, it is embossing powder?
