There aren't many common words starting with X, but, as luck would have it, I found this little gem which allowed me to be seasonal AND fulfil my Dictionary mission all at the same time. I give you xanthophyll:
I must be on a Clean & Simple kick at the moment because although I considered adding some stencilling, I left the stamps do the talking again. With the help of my hero inkpad, the Kaleidacolour - Autumn Leaves, discovered recently and so appropriate for my chosen word!
I used 2 sizes of leaves from the Twiggy Leaves set (Rubber Dance) to create a frame for my definition, which unusually take centre stage.
I hope you'll like my page, however simple it is!

And makes my nerdish heart very happy indeed! This is brilliant (and I might have to CASE it too). Love the pretty autumn leaves. Thanks so much for playing along with Uniko this month! Deborah, DT.

ReplyDeleteSuper page, je trouve ces feuilles très belles et ce pad d'encres Kaleidoscope tout à fait approprié en effet !!! Le résultat est superbe.

Love it! I didn't know the word xantophyll, so this was both a botany and linguistic lesson on top of seeing your gorgeous make! Thank you for using my leaf stamps - they look awesome in those colours! I like the clean look, the leaves are all the decoration needed for this one. Thanks for entering our challenge's 2nd anniversary at Rubber Dance ♥
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that this is the absolute perfect word for this time of year and the perfect word for X. Your stamping always amazes me. I want to learn to stamp like you when I grow up (grin).
ReplyDeleteFantastic word to choose and your frame of autumn leaves is perfect. You must have a good dictionary...mine had xylem in but didn't have a clue how to depict that. Elaine x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant word and interpretation, gorgeous leaves.
ReplyDeleteGreat word! I love your leaves too, a favourite of mine! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall images on this! Love those multicolored leaves and the way you framed that amazing word! Think I just learned a new word!!! ;)

Well there's a word you don't come across every day! This is lovely Christine, beautiful stamps perfectly stamped xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a new word for me - I'll try and work it into a conversation! Perfect autumn feel, and I do like the simplicity of it.
ReplyDeleteThe multi coloured ink pad works SO well with your leaf images! Fabulous colours x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stamping with a perfect combination of autumnal colours. I also went with something botanical. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page!! I checked word xanthophyll, it's a fabulous atmosphere of the leaves. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful page, word, and the way you depicted it. Would I need a utube account to upload the video? Thanks for your suggestions. Thanks for joining the Rubber Dance challenge. Hugz
ReplyDeleteI love how this turns out! Thank you for joining us over at Rubber Dance this month. xx Susanne!
ReplyDeleteOh what a word! Beautiful Autumn leaves, I love this.
ReplyDeleteLove your piece. It is just perfect in the clean and simple style - actually don't know why it is called simple because quite often it ain't!!!! Fabulous word and love your autumnal leaves.
ReplyDeleteLove this CAS style of yours. That Kaleidacolor pad is fab isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe images and inks speak for themselves and don't need any addition. A beautiful clean and simple page.
ReplyDeleteAwesome page, loving how you have used the leaves to frame the dictionary quote. Thanks so much for joining in at Uniko and my apologies for popping by so late to comment. Hugs Bev x
