Alpha/Dictionary Challenge 2016 : X

Well, this was a challenge as the letter X in my pocket Oxford dictionary only has 6 definitions and not only that, I also have the letter Y on the same page and we have not had that letter yet. So, I chose X as in Roman numerals and kept the design simple.

My entry for this fortnight's Craft Barn Alpha Dictionary Challenge :


I started by using a clock stencil from Indigo Blu and a fine black pen to get the layout positioned across the pages. I drew the outline numerals for 2016 and filled them in with a red inktense pencil and added water. The page needed something else so I stamped the flower to fill up the space and water coloured it with the same red inktense pencil.

Job done. I have resisted peeking to see what everyone else chose to do for this letter so I'm off to have a look now.

Thanks for dropping by and I really appreciate the comments you make on my work, thank you so much.

    Well done for finding something to fit the bill! I've not checked the page results yet either...

    You always surprise me with your wonderful art you create right on the dictionary page. This is a remarkable entry, and I was totally impressed.

    Phew you've got the hardest out of the way! A lovely page too, the red on the flower and date pops off the black and white background.

    You rose to the challenge beautifully. I love the clean and simple look to your page and the addition of the flower was the perfect finishing touch.
