Initially I was going to illustrate the word Music, but, since many people had already chosen that word, I decided to use that lovely Crafty Individual little girl. She has an air of melancholy about her, and that fits in very well with my mood, as the end of year approaches and I reflect on the events, good and bad, of 2016. Fair to say this Christmas will be a very bittersweet occasion.
But I digress... on to the crafty stuff, here's my page:
I simply stamped the CI-101 ticket image with Versafine black, masked it and overstamped with a partial impression of a stamp from the Rubber Dance Nostalgic couple.
I added a bit of colour to the girl and the violet with Gelatos and created a shadow with a Distress Crayon in Vintage photo.
And as usual, dictionary definition and letter round off the page.
Have yourselves a fabulous Christmas!
I am entering the That's Crafty challenge.
Well done for choosing a completely different word - I do so agree the word and the year compliment one another! Thank you for joining the Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge and send you Seasons Greetings from us all xx

J'aime beaucoup cette image moi aussi, et j'ai pu l'obtenir figure-toi de mon amie Sandra... Ce qui me rend à mon tour bien mélancolique.
ReplyDeleteJ'espère qu'elle t'a quitté aujourd'hui néanmoins, et que tu profites de ces fêtes de fin d'année en famille.
Je te souhaite un très joyeux Noël !!! Et bien sûr une belle année à venir, mais nous aurons sûrement l'occasion de nous le souhaiter dans les jours qui viennent.. :) Bises
I love that image, and yes, she does look a little melancholy. Happy Boxing Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of word. I totally agree it's been a funny old year. Let's hope 2017 sees less melancholy and more mirth xxx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful pair of images to depict your unusual word. Christmas definitely becomes more bittersweet as you get older and remember all those absent friends and family. I hope 2017 proves a happier year for us all.
ReplyDeletea lovely piece - and yes its been a funny old year here too. Here's hoping 2017 is much better! Hugs Rachel x
ReplyDeleteJust when I think I have all the Crafty Individuals stamps I will ever want, you roll out this one! Another perfect CAS page with just the right amount of colour added.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that... it's one of the images that just grew on me, the more I saw it and the more I liked it!
