Craft Barn Alpha Challenge - J


Sometimes it takes ages to decide what to do for the chosen letter of the week on the Craft Barn Challenge and sometimes, like today, inspiration strikes immediately. My chosen word is jigsaw as in puzzle but my jigsaw is of a jam jar with jellybeans (can you tell I had fun with this one?). The jigsaw is a Sizzix die I picked up a couple of years ago in The States. The jam jar stamp is a charity shop find by Rubber Stampede stamped with  Memento London fog. I cut some spare rubber into a bean shape and used Stazon blazing red for the jellybeans. The different shades are 2nd & 3rd generation stamping (I saw a Hero Arts video a while ago that did something similar). I brushed the page edges with picked raspberry DI and used some computer generated text.
