The new Letter on the The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge
 is L. I didn't want to do the obvious and after skimming through my dictionary I decided to do...Lattice! 


I decided with this challenge I would use some watercolor pencils I recently purchased. Although for the  lattice wall, and the ground I used Distress inks.  I did use a stencil to make the lattice on the wall. Everything else I drew and colored with the pencils.

I made the L and made the traditional lattice design on it. I colored this with traditional colored pencils.



I put the dictionary definition in the doorway as I thought it was a fun place to put it. With a Sharpie Pen I drew some birds as the sky looked too empty.



I had fun doing this and trying some new things. Can't wait to find out what the next letter will be!

  1. A clever choice of word for the letter L. I like that definition living in the arched doorway. The page has a lovely warm feel to it.

  2. Oh, I must remember this idea and steal it for the lattice word in my dictionary! I love it. Putting the word and definition in the doorway is another great idea. The flowers are so wonderful.

  5. The definition in the doorway is definitely a winning choice, it looks like you could be enduring a secret garden through it! Very pretty page. Lou x

  6. What a great word and use of your new watercolor pencils. The lattice is beautiful, and you did such a great job. I like the idea Lou had of a secret garden behind the lattice wall. It is gorgeous. The use of the definition behind the arch is wonderful, too. All in all, a super entry.
