For various reasons I'm not getting much crafting done but thought I'd have a play this afternoon and make my postcard for The Craft Barn's Alpha Dictionary Challenge. The letter this time is V - I've chosen Valentine but if you visit regularly you will know I've tried to use as many v words as possible!!
So the background is a variegated vibrant mix of yellows through to reds and I've stamped the Pansy Pot down the side with Vermillion Archival. I've also gold embossed the Pansy stamp and coloured it a purple-blue.....think Violas!! The main element is the Walesby Heart gold embossed and again coloured in purple-blue. It's just finished with the V Thicker and the dictionary definition.
Well I've filed that as no. 21 so we can only have 5 more to go = 10 weeks to Christmas. How did that happen??? Anyway thanks for popping by and for all the comments you keep leaving.
