Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

The next letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "S" with the twist to include a shell.
One of my favourite bands is Sunset Sons (check them out they are really good :) ), so the decision was easy I went for Sunset.

I made a stencil of a 3/4 circle and used Distress Ink to create the sun. Then I marked up the sun and added 3 different DIs to the background. Sprayed everything with water to get the colours fade into each other a little bit. I stamped seagulls around the sun and shells as a kind of border. 
Then I divided the page with striped Washi Tape and added the letters Sunset (the word Sons underneath the T) and the definition.

And last but not least, thanks so much (to Mr Random Generator) for picking my last entry as the winner. I've already spent the voucher on some Brushos and hope to play with them very soon. Yeah :)
Happy weekend and thanks for looking :)

Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

The next letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "D" and use the colour Pink.
My first thought was to use one of my favourite stamp set with Dandelions, but I can't find them....grrrr. I definitely have to do a spring clean through my craft stuff soon. :)

So I decided to go for dragonflies instead. 
I took a kitchen paper towel and sprayed it with 3 different Dylusion inks (including pink :)) and when dry I glued it on a cardstock. I took a dragonfly stamp from Crafty Individual and stamped it all over the page with 3 different VersaFine inks. 
Then I used a smaller dragonfly stamp 3 times and cut it out with the matching die. Coloured them with Distress Ink, used a Gelly Roll Pen for the wings and added them to the page. I also put some rhinestones on them. 
And finally I added the word definition.


Sorry for not visiting your blogs lately, I've started a new job and that keeps me busier than I thought/hoped. I will have a look at all your great creations tomorrow though. 
Happy weekend and thanks for looking :)

Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

The next letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "G". 
I decided to go for Gargoyles, because I always liked them. I found one from Notre Dame and printed it along with an image of the Eiffel Tower.
 For the background I used three different Distress Inks to give the impression of a sky. I glued the Gargoyle and the Eiffel Tower on the background. Then I tore strips from an old book, coloured it with Distress Ink and added the stripes as a border. For the corners I used brads which looks like screws and finally added the word definition.

 
Thanks for looking :)
