The next letter in The Craft Barn Alpha/ Dictionary Challenge  is the letter Z. As this letter isn't hard enough already we also have to have a pearl in it!

As I always try to use a word others might not have used I choose zenith. I used the definition meaning at the highest point and showed her on a rock in a mountain range above the sun. The pearl is in her hand. Lots of Distress Inks and a ton of masking off.

I looked through my journal to see what letters are left and looks like its the more difficult ones. Yikes!

Until next time. And as always comments are always appreciated.

C is for Choice

This time the letter on The Craft Barn Alpha/ Dictionary Challenge
is the letter C. Now I had figured out what I was going to do with this letter a long time ago as I had first thought of doing it for another letter and word. I choose CHOICE.

I first colored the pages using 4 different Distress Inks in yellows, orange and pink. I then made rectangular masks to reflect portals or doors and the girl is a mask from a stencil set I have.  I also made a circle mask for the corner. I sprayed my journal pages in Dylusions Midnight Blue  ink spray. I rubbed some of it off under each portal and then used a stamp I have that is supposed to look like I flicked white paint all over. I wanted more control of the dots so using the stamp with  white paint was much easier.

I put the symbols on the portals to reflect the choices  we make during our path through life. We can pursue  fame, happiness (love), or money. There are of course many others to choose from but I have a small journal!

I really like the effect of this picture.

As usual I had a great time with this. Can't wait until the next letter!
