Dictionary Challenge. Letter B

Welcome to my Blog! I've been crafting most of my life. I started off in needle arts, turning to fabric Arts. I used to scrapbook the pictures of my boys. Now that they are older I have started stamping and have turned to Art Journals. Learning about ink and paint is now my passion and enjoy reading blogs and getting inspired by some of the challenges that are out there.

I have created this blog as my Resolution for 2016 is to be brave and enter these challenges as a way to share my creations.

I came  upon  The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge . It runs for 2 weeks per challenge and they give you a letter [not in order]  and  you need to make a creation with a word starting with that letter and include the dictionary definition in the artwork. You can choice any form of base, tags, journal, dictionary, postcard, etc.

The first week is B and I chose Butterfly.


I used Distressed inks and assorted stamps. The butterflies are die cut from Gelli Plate prints that I made. The B is from some old Alphabet stickers that I had.

This is my very first challenge entry.

Thanks for dropping by. I'd love to know what you think, so please leave me a message!

    Welcome to the world of blogging and welcome to the Craft Barn challenge. This is an awesome first entry. I like the combination of butterflies and text. Your background is truly lovely with all the layers you created. A great mixed media entry.

    Welcome,I found it also very scary to start a blog, but am glad I jumped right in, because I believe my art has grow tremendous due to the fact that I blog. The alpha/dictionary challenge 2013 was my first ever challenge I took part in.
