Alpha/Dictionary Challenge 2016 : P

My first post of 2017 is the final page for the Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary project and the letter is P. I chose poppy and just used lots of poppy stamps all over the page, I guess it sort of works. I was thinking of choosing page as my word, highlighting the word and leaving the page blank but that would be a bit of a cheat wouldn't it!


Recipe:
Rubbernecker Red Poppy Stamp coloured with TH distress markers (candied apple, abandoned coral, ground espresso and black soot) and stamped directly onto the page.
A selection of poppy stamps from Hobby Art CS044D Poppy Scene-it set stamped with black archival ink and coloured with inktense pencils.

I have really enjoyed this project and am proud of myself for completing it. My thanks to all of you who have left comments, it means a lot. Thanks also to Jane and Mickie at the Craft Barn for running the challenge for us and I wish you all a very Happy 2017. x

    Love the poppies. Your dictionary must be a joy to flick through. Page would have worked too - might be worth bearing in mind if you ever do a dictionary challenge again! Thank you for joining the Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary challenge and I wish you a very Happy and Crafty New Year xx

    Delightful poppies- I love to see them in the meadow , hedgerow or garden. It's a shame that they are so short lived.
    Happy New Year to you.

    Again, I applaud your courage by stamping directly on your dictionary page. I don't have that kind of courage. Your poppies are always a favorite of mine. I really love them.

    Thank you for leaving comments every fortnight. You are a truly wonderful artist, and I hope to see you again this year.

    Good choice! Poppies are much better than a blank page... Yes I do think we deserve some plaudits for our year long effort!
