Alphabet Swap - V,W & X

V is for Versamark..... oh no it isn't!


Don't ask me what went wrong, could be the inkpad, the inks, impatience..... will have to sort this out later.

V is for Vowels ..... oh no it isn't!

After I had stamped the vowels from several alphabet stamps (onto the not working Versamark card - waste not, want not!) I decided that 'vowels' was not really clear enough.

V is for Vowels, Velvet and Votes
I have had a background stamp from Stampin'Up for ages so today was the day to try it out.  It's called...... Velvet!!
I used one of my DO inks and left it to dry while I sorted out the vowels I had used previously.
This time I placed them onto my acrylic block so that they were all in the same direction, turned my card to the landscape layout and started stamping using Versafine Onyx.
I stamped across the centre of the card first and then filled in the edges.

My return card is very clever.  Neat monochrome layout with a small amount of bling!

Thank you GwynethRose.

W is for Welder and Wonderland.

I saw this little man displayed on the web so had a go at drawing him myself..... not too sure but now he is water coloured, I am quite pleased with him.  I added a few stickles to his flame as my bling!

 Just love Alice!  I have a folder full of Alice images to be used but these are just superb.  I love the colouring, the doodling.

Thank you Kathleen.

 X is for X-ray and Xmas (I pronounce this as kissmass)
Another image seen on the web, drawn and coloured with Inktense pencils.  I used for my base card some watercolour paper that had been lying on my desk and gave it a pale blue wash.
I had great difficulty in making the 'bones' visible as my 'ultimate white gel pen' just would not whiten enough for me.
I used some Tippex ..... white paint ......went out and bought some white pens!!!
Very pleased with the overall effect.

My return card uses a green letter infilled with lots of stocking images and the card is bordered with bling.

Thank you Barbara.
