Dictionary Challenge - A

Hi Everyone, it's time again for a new letter over at The Craft Barn blog.  The weeks seem to be flying past this year!!  

The letter this fortnight is "A" and there are no additional requirements this time, so here are my pages - I've chosen the word ANGEL:




I started by masking my definition, then sprayed my pages with Dylusions inks - I used london blue, vibrant turquoise, crushed grape and white linen.
Once dry I used the tornado stencil by Andy Skinner and sky blue acrylic paint on the left hand page, I then used his baroque stencil and rose acrylic paint on the four internal corners.
I then stamped my angel by Blade Rubber stamps in black archival ink and the sentiment (I believe in angels) that came with her along the bottom of the page.  I used a white stabilo all pencil to highlight the angel and used a black pencil to create a shadow underneath her. 

I then removed the mask from the definition and emphasized it using the black stabilo all pencil.

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope everyone in the UK is having a lovely bank holiday weekend!

Claire x

    What a beautifully constructed page Claire, the layout works perfectly in drawing the eye round the page to your focal point. I adore that Angel stamp (not jealous at all lol!) and of the stencil is one on my wish list, your glorious page has just reinforced why ha ha!
    Thank-you so much for your kind visit too.
    Hugs x
