Craft Barn Alpha Challenge - Z and Catch-up - D

 
Catching up with the letter D which I missed a few weeks ago. DH & I have been going to dance classes for a few years now and we both enjoy it tremendously. It's a great way to keep fit and it's fun to do. The dancers are a Papermania stamp coloured with coloursoft pencils and Sansodor. The quote is from Non Sequitur's Paris in the Spring set. No dance floor is complete without a glitter ball which I cut from holographic paper. I used Archival cobalt and Impress lemon yellow for the BG.


This fortnight's letter for the Craft Barn Alpha Challenge is Z. I have a zebra stamp and I'm not afraid to use it!!!! So we have zillions of zebras (well a few) on a zingy/zesty background (orange, lime & lemon). I stamped and masked the zebra on Paper Artsy Crackly paper, roughly cut them out and coloured the backs with a white oil pastel crayon (I didn't want the BG colours to show through). The definition is highlighted with zeros and the quote is from a Dr Seuss book called ' On Beyond Zebra'. Now that I've caught up I'm hoping to visit you all and see what you've been doing.

  9. Love that you and DH are dancing and now have a page of it too. I used to go to ballroom dancing and loved it but happened to marry a man with 2 left feet and no interest what so ever - shame. Love your zebra page too and all your other "z" references as well. BJ

  13. Fabulous pages both and well done for catching up - I still have one to go and have been thinking about it but, actions speak louder than words - so lets hope. Love the dancing page, beautiful colouring and colours used - I love to dance but neither my feet or ears (hearing the right beat) co-operate.lol. If I had that zebra stamp I would be using too. Fab quote and background. All round winner pages I would say.

  14. THese pages are both brilliant! The first one is so romentic, the second so vibrant in colours and because of the movement of the animals!
