This is a venture into the unknown as the Craft Barn are having an alpha challenge once a fortnight and I hope I have understood the instructions aghh as I haven't used a dictionary but a photo album I picked up at the charity shop, the paper is a fab and bound in a way that there is room for embellishments and enough pages for the challenge, so an apt title for the first page.
The background has gone through many changes over the last week but I did start off with dylusion sprays and stencils and ended up using acrylic paints and archival inks.
The die cut letter from corrugated card are dipped into molton UTEE with a friendly plastic key and face and a shrink plastic stamp TH bird

Very interesting background Von!
have a nice weekend, Alie :-)
Very nice page Von. I'm working on ideas for this one at the moment. It's such a long challenge I want to start off right or it may go adrift later. Great letters and colours
Lovely work, looks like you spent a lot of time making it! Hugs, Valerie
Wow, what a great page you've created!
ooo this is a fabulous page Von! I am so pleased that you are joining us on this journey :D xxx
Gorgeous page Von, love the patterned lettering x
A great inky background Von and I love your chosen word. A great idea too to use a book that allows for embellishments. Xx
Oh, I like!
So many layers with all the stamping... inspiring
Wow I love all the different textures and techniques you've used on this!
I love your page, seems just the ticket for the challenge to me as we don't HAVE to use a dictionary aslong as the word is prominent and yous most certainly is. Cool.
This is fantastic Von. Wonderful textures and elements you have used.
Love Chrissie xx

I think this is fab, Von. Love the lettering.
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog.
This is a great idea for their challenge, I like twists on original ideas/themes.I like the way you started out in one direction and ended up somewhere else, Its great to just let things happen. the letters look great, I need to use my melt pot like that.
happy crafting, mark x
Fantastic letters and I am loving that background Von. So many fantastic projects coming from this challenge. I look forward to seeing how yours progresses. Hugs, Jenny x
Wow, that's a great take on letter "V", love it.
Fabulous background for the amazing letters, they look old, worn and textured. A great start to the challenges Von.
Hope you have had a good weekend.

Hi,
Great page !! love the altered letters too.
It's fine that you did not use a dictionary, as long as the letter is obvious. (maybe next time you can add the word definition to your page.. here's a little extra challenge for you ;))
Thanks for playing with us at the Craft Barn
Izzy
