The Letter M

Here we are again with the new letter for The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge.  The letter this time is M. I went through a lot of different words and finally decided on Mushroom.  I decided on this mainly because I had some nice stamps of  mushrooms from Dylusions. I stamped the page with the stamps and then colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I love these markers as they are so colorful and bright.

 
I used my Distress inks on the page and some washi tape on the bottom. I was starting to play around with my Gel pens when I realized it was getting late and I better post the page as tomorrow is Christmas and I need to get a few things done.

This leaves us with one letter left...

Y is for Yawn

Where  did all the time go? Another fortnight has gone and I find myself once again finishing my entry for The Craft Barn's Alpha/Dictionary Challenge just at the nick of time.


I like to draw faces so I studied a picture of a person yawning and came up with this. I did it with pencil and then debated whether to add color to it but decided to leave it as it is. I used Distress Inks to color the background using 3 different yellows. I added an emoji for yawning. I'm asked several times a day at the store if I have things with emoji's on it so I'm going with the flow. In case anyone is interested we only have stickers and a lollipop with the poop emoji. Strange world we live in.
Two more letters to go and we are done. I will miss this.
