Another colourful art piece, (see next post) this time done on a 4x4 chipboard base, this was for a monthly alphabet swap that I am taking part in, E is for eggs was such fun to work on as I have never before done anything so bright, the torn papers were coloured with ink pads before being glued into place then plenty of stamping, images of birds nest and eggs are from collage sheets, feathers , domed letters and a piece of torn dictionary to finish, Sandra, who received this page in the swap sent me a lovely thank you email, I am so pleased that she liked it !!!!
Well I am certainly getting things back to front today, have just uploaded the letter D book page, forgetting that I hadn't added the letter C page yet, anyway here it is, named Cats in Hats its done on watercoloured background paper, inked egdes, stamped images of cats in hats, stamped saying, flatbacks and fibers to finish, 
This is the letter D 4 x 4 page that I made for the alphabet swap on the sumofallcrafts group, the background is inked paper with a stamped lady image, the roses are cut from the top layer of a paper napkin, the dragonfly is stamped and the wings are stamped again onto fantasy film before being attached, chipboard letter and fibers to finish, 
This is the 2nd book page that I have made for a swap in a yahoo group that I belong to, these are 4x4 pages and as you can see there is a very long way to go before the alphabet is finished, The printed background paper was not the exact colour that I wanted so it has been lightly rubbed over with an ink pad, the pansies are cut from the top layer of a tissue, I used a spray adhesive for this as other glues or a glue stick would have just torn this very thin paper, the butterflies and bird are are shaped and raised up with decoupage sealant, the letter B was painted and then lightly sprayed with glitter, a mix of accent beads are in the center of the pansies, I do hope that the person that this is going to likes it ! 
I made this 4 x 4 page for a swap in a yahoo group that I belong to, we have just started this Alphabet trade so there is a long long way to go, as you can see I did "A is for Ancestors".The back ground is mount board which is coloured with 4 different shades of brown inks, 3 acrylic paints over sequin waste for the dots, torn papers, stamped words, the letter A is also painted and then sprayed with a gold glitter spray, the man and lady image are stamped onto card before being coloured and fixed into place with staples, the word ancestors is done with gold peel offs that have been inked to tone them down, I just hate that bright gold colour but as I have hundreds of them thought that I best start using some of them everything is edged in black to finish off.
