Girlz and The art of Letters - A

Good morning everyone! I have exciting news! 

I am on the design team for a brand new challenge blog ...

Girlz and The Art of Letters

Claudia and Lisbeth have graciously accepted me to the team. Here is what they have said about the challenge from the blog....  We are 2 friends who love to make cards. We like to make cards, layouts, albums, ATC etc. That's why this challenge. Everyone is welcome with their creations. The only condition is that you use the something that starts with the given letter of the alphabet. Have fun crafting Claudia and Lisbeth

Thanks so much for having me! 

So, on to the first challenge... The Letter A

 Use something, or a lot of somethings that start with the Letter A on your project. 

For this alphabet challenge I am going to be some inspirational cards using mixed media and other goodies. 

Today this is my creation for A.

I used apple red, mixed with yellow and orange acrylic paint for the background. I did some ghost stamping using an A stamp; I used candy apple distress ink to do some letter stamping, I used an All pencil to outline my adorable girl, and of course an A - mazing sentiment! 

I do hope you join us for this fun new challenge on a fun new challenge blog! 

Happy Creating!
