The Alpha Challenge -C

Well hello there, Horace here with a guest helper, Spider bear, we're colouring our dictionary for the Alpha challenge over at The Craft Barn This week's letter is C, and after perusing our French/English dictionary, we found the word Casino, which, in English means......casino!!!!

After gessoing our pages, We coloured them with green water colour crayon,




and after colouring just a little of the page , we then spread the colour over the pages with a bearby wipe, these are a must have to a bears' craft stash.




We remembered to leave our word highlighted, as per the challenge.




I then added some red water colour crayon around the edges of the pages, and again spread this with the bearby wipe.




To create this simple background.




Next, I stamped a small gambling themed stamp, which had come free with a magazine a while back (we're suckers for magazine freebies).




I cut the chips from the stamped image and placed them randomly over the page




Spider bear had given up helping, and seemed to be having a remote control frenzy on the couch.




I started stamping gambling words across the pages.




But got distracted by this beauty on Spider bear's tv!




Anyway, after slobbering over TV cake, I eventually finished my page.




I think it's quite plain, but as we're trying not to overdo every page at the moment, I'll resist the urge to keep adding to it.




I love this challenge, and can't wait for the next letter. I wonder what it will be?
With love from the bears.
