Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge and Country View Challenges

The 3rd letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "F" and for a twist a heart should be included. 
I had a couple of words, but went for "Fairy" at the end.

For the background I drew a grid of squares and rectangles with a pencil. I used 5 different Distress Inks to colour the section by masking them with Post-its. Then I used the same inks to stamp some textures into the sections. I found a very old fairy stamp, which I stamped with blue VersaFine and embossed it with Cosmic Shimmer embossing powder. Cut the fairy out, coloured the background of the fairy with DI and mounted it on a blue piece of fabric. Glued everything on the background and added the flowers and the heart. I also added a border at the top and bottom of the background with Distress Stickles. Finally I added the dictionary definition in the lower left corner.

I would also like to enter this one in the February challenge over on 
Country View Challenges. 
Their theme this month is "Make your own background"

Thanks for looking :)

Less Is More - Splatters & Time Out

The new challenge over at Less is More (Week 219) is "Splatters".
Great theme. I used a white square card base and added 3 different Distress Inks through  my "Splatter" stencil. Spritzed it with a bit of water and stamped the sentiment with black VersaFine. Nice and Easy :)
I would also like to enter this into the "Rainbow" challenge at Time Out
Thanks for looking :)
