Alpha Challenge - W

W is the letter for the latest Alpha Challenge  at the Craft Barn but there is a twist - we have to put circles in the background.
The word I used is Wheels.


I painted the background with DeckoArt acrylic paints then stamped the bicycle. I then coloured one of the wheels with a felt tip and randomly stamped the wheel on the page. I then drew the circles using a circle stencil and my Sharpie pens. I then stamped the honeycomb pattern with white acrylic paint and used my white Posca pen and black pen to write the letter W and Wheels.
The stamps I used are.
Stampers Anonymous for the bicycle.
The Artistic Stamper for the white honeycomb.

  I always forget to do a close up of the word in the dictionary - but I remembered this time.

  1. What a good choice of word to tie in with the circles. I really like the white honey comb stamping against the pink/red painted bg.

  12. Hi Hazel - internet now fully functional so I'm back! Sorry to be missing for a while - it's been a nightmare.
    Great page for your dictionary - I've barely started mine so I need to get a move on. I considered wheels and then another word caught my eye but I do love what you've done here.
