W is for .........

Weather this is my choice of W word for the Alpha challenge at The Craft Barn, there is also a twist this time to include circles.  As always I read through my dictionary first and Weather jumped out at me and also the stamps I could use for my page also April Showers which seems to be the weather we are getting here over the last few days.

Firstly I glued several pages together and then using Distress inks swiped the pads stormy sky  over the pages direct to paper, then I chose a weather compass mask (circle) and used frayed burlap to ink through, North and South are showing up but West and East got almost stamped over you can just see them by Umbrella Man, I also used a  (circle) mask  at the bottom of the page with shabby shutters.

 

 My first page is Showers I used a mask for the letters and distress ink pen.  I drew a sun (circle) round a top and coloured with distress inks scattered straw and tore a cloud from paper and inked with stormy sky drew rain (circles) with distress ink pen and covered in glossy accents to make them look wet and also covered the umbrella with it too Umbrella man is stamped in black Versafine ink.

 



This page is my Sunshine page! I found a piece of card in my bits box which had been embossed with (circles) which I punched out for the sun, highlighted the Weather definition and stamped Umbrella Man (Tim Holtz) in Denim Adirondack ink.  I found some paper with (circles) in my bits box I  paper pieced the umbrella part.

I am having so much fun altering my dictionary and just as much fun visiting everyone who is taking part, again I have a very big Thank You to everyone who visited me and for all the lovely comments left for my last page Roost.  Pop over to The Craft Barn blog and take a look..... some great things going on!

'till next time

R is for.........................

Roost.......

This letter caused me to scratch the little grey cells and after reading through my dictionary several times I came up with "Roost" for the Alpha Challenge at The Craft Barn mainly I think because I nearly used Perch for my "P" word last time and I needed to use some Tim Holtz stamps as I was getting withdrawals..............lol

 

 

I decided to keep to  black and white  leaving the dictionary page unaltered apart from the stamping

with Black Versamark ink. 

 

 

 

 

I have used some of my fav Tim Holtz Bird stamps I love the distressed silhouette effect they give, thanks for looking and once again huge thanks for all the kind comments you all left on my "P" pages.

 

Hope you have all had a good Easter break despite the cold weather and stayed warm and eaten lots of chocolate.........

 

 

'till next time
