Here's my entry for The Craft Barn's Alpha Challenge - it's the first week and the letter is V.
I've decided to do a series of ATCs so that at the end they can all be made into an album and can be seen all together. Buying the dictionary was the easy bit - £1.50 from the Red Cross shop so I've done my bit for charity too!!
I chose Violet Vehicles so the background is a mix of Salty Ocean, Dusty Conchord and Seedless Preserves Distress inks overstamped with a Kaisercraft Checkerplate stamp. The vehicle is Tim Holtz's stamped in Dusty Conchord and under that is a number plate salvage sticker. Try as I might I couldn't get a photo of it - the light is so bad and my camera won't focus without the flash. I've left a little space at the top to add a V once I find a nice alphabet to create a unifying feature on all my ATCs.
Anyway I hope you like. If you want to join in, check out The Craft Barn's blog on the link above. It's a year long challenge with a different letter every 2 weeks and prizes to be won!!
A superb entry for this challenge Elaine. Isn't it frustrating when the light messes up your photography. Looking forward to seeing how your ATC collection unfolds. Hugs, Jenny x
ReplyDeleteI love the combo of two words, and fab colour!
ReplyDeleteThe ATCs are a great idea, as is the use of two words. Looking forward to seeing your next ATC.

Ingenious Elaine, what a beautiful ATC my lovely. Your composition is excellent and your background is inky heaven. Lol I can sympathise with the camera issues, mine is 'pants' and I frequently resort to my scanner as a result!!

Fab BG I love the checkerboard stamp will have to look out for it. I guess it's a vintage violet vehicle!
