The new letter on the The Craft Barn: Alpha/ Dictionary Challenge is F with the twist of a heart some where in the piece.

 So many wonderful words went through my mind: Fearless, Future, Fantastic, Fabulous; as well as ways to portray it. I started going through my stamps and found Tim Holtz's Crazy Birds Stamps. These always make me smile and I abandoned the other words and decided to do Flock !


I used Distress inks and stencils to make the background. I stamped the birds and colored them with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I reversed the image of one of the birds on my computer so they could face each other and placed the hearts around them.  Cute, eh?


I stamped the other page in a light brown distress ink with some of the birds to give it more of a flock feeling. Then I placed the birds in different ways as they are crazy.



I'm looking forward to the next letter as I already have so many ideas on what to do. Of course as I've learned others ideas take their place!

Thanks for looking!

    This has to be the greatest flock ever! Hahaha...they're cute and they're crazy and you've illustrated this crazy bunch excellently. The two love birds are so clever.

    This was ingenious and what a great way to use the required heart. I think those birds are cute, too, and I like how you went through a whole lot of words in order to come to a perfect one where the art took center stage.
