Here is my next postcard for The Craft Barn's Alpha Dictionary Challenge where the letter this time is R.
I chose to do Raven as I had this beautiful Stampendous Raven sat unused in my stash. The background is Barn Door Distress (red) and I blended some Picked Raspberry through a Studio Calico Spiral Graph Stencil .....this covers all those other R words like round, ring, radiate, rotate etc etc. I've added extra stamping with some Hero Arts Castle Icons. Unfortunately my castle has subsidence - I lined my wooden block up perfectly with the edge of the card but it seems the rubber is not stuck straight on the block....doh!!
I love seeing what words everyone else uses and it's educational too. One word I found was Roustabout but I had no clue how to depict a labourer on an oil rig!
Thanks for visiting.

This is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that Edgar Allan Poe poem. Love the gothic atmosphere of your page.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent! I have chosen the same word for "R" but a different raven image, yours is a really good one, love the hat. I didn't know that a Roustabout was a labourer on an oil rig and I really feel I should know that as I work in the oil industry - ho hum, new word - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very unique raven. I think this raven would be great for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI like your choice of words, and believe it or not, I knew what a roustabout was. Of course, I'm learning a lot, too (including how to stamp-tee hee).
Love that raven stamp, fabulous colour and stencilled background.

Oh wow, I am loving the red background and the Raven is just fabulous! He will have to go on my wish list now..... Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteA really great postcard and what a beautiful raven stamp. I will keep my eyes open for
ReplyDeleteIt.
I was too busy admiring the raven image to notice the castle had the same problem as the tower of Pisa! This happens to me all the time, even when I use a stamp positioner! Love the background stencilling too.
ReplyDeleteLove it. That is a great stamp and love the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteYou remind me that I must get my Raven into my altered dictionary as well. I have this same Raven and he's so regal with the castle in the background. I love the stenciling and the colors.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful atmospheric piece.
ReplyDeletegreat first outing of your raven stamp, lovely background with the spirals.
ReplyDeleteFabulous, love the raven, and the red looks great as a background.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a magnificent stamp and you've got it printed perfectly! Lovely colours too. Lou x
