Alpha/Dictionary Challenge - I and V


I am finally up to date with The Craft Barn's Alpha/Dictionary Challenge.  Our new letter is I and the word I chose is Ice.  The backing paper I used has an icy look to it and if you click on the image you can see it is shimmery and shiny and I added Pine Needles Distress Ink as I always feel this is a wintry colour! The image I have used is an old favourite stamp that makes me think of a frosty icy day!



For my V page I decided to pick Violin as I remembered I had an appropriate stamp in my fairly large stamp collection that I don't often get to use!  Also the 2 flowers are violet in colour so I added those, and I then remembered that I do actually have a stamp of Violet flowers but it was too late by then!   I am now up to date and hopefully will stay that way until the end of the challenge!

That ice entry is a brrr! I love the snowman and the way you colored the image. It's so well done.

I was really impressed with your vintage violin. This is gorgeous. I can't believe all the beautiful stamps you have, seemingly for everything.

Glad to read you are caught up, now.
