Alpha Challenge - Letter B

I knew what I was going to do for the letter B in the Craft Barns Alpha Challenge as soon as I saw the buttercups flowering in the meadows where I walk the dogs. The meadows looked so beautiful. I picked a few of the flowers to press in the dictionary that I'm pulling to pieces for my journal.


I've no idea who made the stamp that I used. I water coloured the flowers with Distress ink and adhered my dried flowers.

Here is a close up of the word in the dictionary.


and here are a couple of photos of the buttercups in the meadows.

    Beautiful buttercups! And I think that I recognise the flower stamp as being a Craft Stamper freebie from 2008 (thanks to my Lists!)

    Love your bright colourful page, the single yellow looks fab and what a great, unusual word to choose - and the addition of the real buttercup finishes it off perfectly

    Clever the way you framed the word with the flower stamp and also incorporated a pressed flower.
    Sunshine on a page.

    Lovely bright page.Funny buttercups are considered such weeds here in New Zealand that they never allowed to grow that tall - they are mown down to a nub or permanently disposed off. Consequently we miss out on pretty meadows.
