Alphabet Challenge

First of all I'd like to thank Sandy at Sweet Sands and Crafts for telling me about this challenge, as you all know I'm trying to get my creative juices flowing again. This is a fabulous new challenge for the year by The Craft Barn. You need to alter a dictionary in some shape or form. It can be the book itself, a page from the book made into another book or a snippet from the dictionary used on a tag or atc. They will choose a random letter every fortnight and you must pick a word to use as your theme. There may also be a twist to the letter to avoid future planning! I decided to do ATC's firstly they are quick and easy and secondly I've been meaning to get back into them and a complete set of the alphabet would be fabulous. So without further ado, the first letter is V for Vehicle
I used distress inks to colour the section of dictionary masking the word of my choice to highlight it, followed by marker. I used the Tim Holtz mini embossing folder with the vintage car and inked this in a darker ink and added some destination postmarks and spritzed with pearl mist. An acetate overlay was attached with the stamped words "Enjoy the Journey" and a chipboard letter V to finnish. Looking forward to the next letter.
