V is for ...

Got this one done quickly this time as I need to pack as I think I'm moving next weekend Yeah!!!

This weeks Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge  is the letter V. Decided to do Vase. I have no real stamps with this and all my magazines and collage stuff are packed, I decided to draw them myself. I went on the internet to find images and tried to replicate the ones that I liked.

The background was done with Distressed Inks. Can you tell I love them? I used a  bunch of different stencils. I have one little stamp by Inkadoo with flowers and  a vase. The colors on this is so much more vibrant in person. All of these were done on white cardstock and I used watercolors, stencils, distress inks, Perfect Pearls as well as a paint pen on them.
I had a lot of fun doing this and hopefully will have my art stuff unpacked before the next one ends.

E is for Elephant

Getting this in just under the wire!  The letter at the The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictonary Challenge is the letter E. I decided to go with elephant as I'm in the mist of getting ready to move so my supplies are packed.

I used watercolor pencils to create the backgrounds. The elephants are wonderful dimensional stickers from Jolee.

I just noticed in the picture my Dictionary definition is starting to come off a bit. OOps.

I am hoping I can keep up with of this while moving. Thank goodness it's every 2 weeks.

Hoping this post comes through as Microsoft did an update and now nothing really works on my computer.

The next letter for The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge isi X!  What a tough one. Decided on X-ray as my friend was a Dental Assistant and lent me an old textbook with pictures of X-rays of mouths and teeth.
I painted the background with Squeeze Orange paint from Dylusions. I put Black Soot Distressed inks through a stencil and stamped Vintage Photo on it.

The Pictures were mounted on brown paper and thenone mounted on silver foil paper to give it that look of the stencil being on the old fashioned machine where they read the x-rays.  I couldn't resist stamping a skull wearing a hat. I diecut a square in silver foil paper to put around him to make it loo like he is in a machine.
Used white foam letters for the x-ray word and of course the dictionary definition in the middle.
This was rushed as I'm still packing and I can't find all of my supplies anymore. Got this done under the wire and praying this will post with the picture.
Fingers crossed
