Hi everyone, I'm sharing my latest Alpha Challenge Dictionary page today for the Craft Barn Alpha Challenge and this fortnight the letter is 'P'. My word is Paw using this great Crafty Individuals Alice Palace stamp 'British Bulldog' which I stamped onto PaperArtsy Crackly tissue paper, coloured with Deco-art paint and then cut out.
The Crafty Individuals 'Keep Calm and Carry On' stamp set was perfect to go with the bulldog and I've used parts of it under the gesso layer with various colours of distress ink which shows up faintly and I stamped the Union Jack flag over the gesso and after colouring with distress markers I glued the bull dog over the top. I added some black around the flag and dog for a bit of definition and then stamped the flag banner several times across the top of the page. I've coloured each banner with distress markers and added glossy accents over the top. I cut the stamp apart in order to stamp the banner in this way and I also cut away the sentiment so that I could mult stamp it across the bottom.
Hope you're having fun with the challenge if you're joining in and there's more info on how to do that on the Craft Barn Blog.
