Here's ATC number 14 for The Craft Barn Alpha Dictionary Challenge where the letter is Y and the twist is we have to use YELLOW. The Yellow is fine - I've been trying to choose a colour, technique and subject for each letter. The problem is the subject - there are just so few Y words so I've chosen YACHT but also taken note of ytterbium and yttrium - white/silver/grey elements!
For the background I've used Tim Holtz's Sunray stamp, inked with Sunflower Yellow Brilliance and clear embossed. I've blended over this with Salty Ocean Distress Ink - lighter at the top for the sky and darker at the bottom for the ocean. The 'Yacht' is a Crafty Individuals stamp (CI-295) - not a simple yacht, but it does have sails and it was the only boat image I had!! I've embossed this in silver and then watercoloured over the hull and between the sails. My tag is finished with blue ric rac (think waves), the dictionary definition and the alcohol inked vinyl Thicker.
I probably made this harder for myself by choosing a subject beginning with Y - I could have done yellow flowers etc - but hope you like and thank you for looking. I'm off to see what everyone else has been doing!!
Love your choice for Y. You gave such a detailed description of your process.
ReplyDeleteAnother great ATC, love how you have created the sailing scene with your yatch on the ric rac sea and the fabulous burst of yellow sun rays.

A nice ATC I like the way you've used the ric rac and the rays of sun.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done with the 'Y' and the way you have incorporated those other words too - educational as well as a beautiful ATC! Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteI love that sun ray! Another really fabulous ATC to add to your beautiful collection. Julie Ann xx
ReplyDeleteWow what a great page, love your yacht, and I love that you embossed it silver, really makes it pop! Hugs Frea
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic, the yacht looks fantastic. Seems we've taken the same word ;)
ReplyDeleteAnother fab ATC...love the embossing..I've also chosen yacht this week :)
ReplyDeleteI like the ric rac waves and the lovely shiny sun.
ReplyDeleteI have to say no sailing experience is a pleasure for me - no sea legs whatsoever.A bright breezy ATC. I know what you mean when you say sometimes you don't want to take the easy option and until you finish said project you keep saying to yourself -'why,why,why?' Its all good in the end as your ATC certainly shows. Thanks for visiting my page.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Elaine. Love the shine to it
