A Wizard Idea For The Alpha Challenge

Have been trying to get on with my altered dictionary page this week but things have had to be put on hold, the grandchildren left their germs behind last weekend and I have been full of cold since Tuesday.   It did give me time to sit back and think about the word for The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge which is "M" but only words beginning with ma and me.  The word I came up with was magician.  I  have a fantastic digi stamp, bought to use on childrens' cards, which I have been wanting to use for some time but with such a detiled image what do I put with it??  This weekend has been great fun finishing the dictionary page and catching up on card making even though I still feel a little grotty.

The cat magician was printed onto a "ma" dictionary page which had the word magician towards the top, coloured it with DIs and gold and silver glamour dust. The intention was to leave the word showing when I cut out the magician but in the end it was fussy cut and stuck to the page just below the word magician which was highlighted with dark blue DI.  I drew a letter M with a few stars scattered about it and this too was coloured dark blue with silver stars.  When looking round for something to do with magic tricks I came upon some magic trick cards, none of which would go with the wizard style of the cat, but as luck would have it inside was the piece of vellum with the "Magic is believing in yourself" quote.
 

The "M" and the vellum quote were attached and although I tried to add other things, a bunny coming out of a top hat, playing cards etc, they all looked out of place, definately a case of less is more!!  So this is my Ma/Me Altered Dictionary page. 

On now to post some more work done over the weekend, it's going to be a busy day.
