Alpha/Dictionary Challenge - F


Hi everyone - I have decided to enter the Alpha/Dictionary Challenge over at The Craft Barn. The letter is F but with a twist to use a heart.
I picked the word face.
I inked through my new stencil with various distress inks. Stamped the image using burgundy ink & coloured with my pencils. Cut out the dictionary definition of face & inked around with more distress inks.
Arranged the elements onto my inked background, then die cut the heart shape. Die cut a larger heart from some black card, embossed & sanded to show the embossing off a little better.
Hope you like it.

I have entered this in:
The Craft Barn: letter f & use a heart (21/2)
Crafting by Designs - hearts
Crafty Creations - #308 hearts
Work it Wednesday - use something new (29/2)

    This is a fantastic art piece! Love the heart shape backing. Great background with the inking through the stencil. Very effective. She has a sweet face.

    You found a fascinating way to add the heart to your Craft Barn challenge. I was surprised that the face was a stencil. You colored it so well.
