Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

Happy New Year :) 

The new theme for the Craft Barn's challenges is "Alpha/DIctionary" and the first letter is "B". Go check it out, it sounds interesting. So I decided to play along and see if I can make it till the end this year. :) 
I've decided to go for the word "Botany" and I will make journal pages which I'll bind at the end.
For the background I made a colour wash from 3 different Distress Inks and stamped the leaves all over the page in VersaFine. I've used a grass stamp as a border. 
Then I used some fern stamps for the distressed squares and adhered them to the left side of the page. I used some letter sticker for the word Botany and glued them on a piece of jute and added the definition of Botany below. After that I added some paper ribbon as a border on top and bottom of the page and another stamped leaf in the bottom corner. 
I haven't been crafting over the last months, so this was good fun and I hope to get back into things :)
Okay, off to see what everybody else did. 
Thanks for looking :)

  2. I would have been here sooner, but I was out of touch with the internet for four days. The worst four days of my life (grin). I was delighted to see you had joined this challenge, because I loved what you did during the lyrics/quotes challenge two years ago. This is an awesome first entry and I love the stamps you used, too. I really like the depth you got for your background. It glowed!
