Chunky Alphabet Book V W and X

Here are my VW and X pages for the chunky alphabet book swap over at KCUK.
V is for voyage.
I used distress ink to colour the page and the stamps I used are by Crafty Individuals.

W is for wine.
I coloured the page with wild honey and vintage photo distress ink and used fired brick for the bottle stains and to colour the wine bottle. The rest of the stamped images have been stamped with Archival black and coffee. All the stamps that I used are by Creative Expressions.

X is for X-rated.
Well, this is the hardest letter done, I found it difficult to find something for X but since coming up with this idea I've thought of some more that I hope I'll remember the next time I do an alphabet swap.
The page has been coloured with dusty concord distress ink and I stamped the images with it as well. The stamp I used is an Anita's stamp. The main image is part of the cover of a Mills and Boon paperback that I found in a charity shop. I was going to leave the title of the book of but then decided to use it. I did start to read it but only managed about 4 pages, apologies to all you Mills and Boon fans out there, it isn't my sort of thing.

Chunky Alphabet Book S T and U

Here are my STand U pages for the Chunky Alphabet Book swap over on KCUK.
S is for strawberry.
I coloured the background with distress ink and then stamped some strawberries over it with the same colour. I stamped the main image onto cream card and coloured the edges with distress ink and coloured the image with Promarkers. The large strawberry was stamped and coloured with Promarkers, the two smaller strawberries were cut out of some patterned paper. I double embossed the strawberries with clear embossing powder before attaching to the page.

T is for tea party.
The background paper is from my stash. I stamped the main image onto white card then masked it of before colouring with broken china Distress Ink then I went round the edges with weathered wood. I removed the mask and left the image white then I matted it onto some pink card. I attached part of a book page to the background then attached the main image. The cup and saucer were stamped onto white card and coloured with Promarkers the letter T is a rub on. Last but not least I added a silver teapot charm to the image.

U is for umbrella.
The page is coloured with broken china and weathered wood Distress Ink and I used my finger to go round the edge with rusty hinge. I stamped the image with dried marigold onto the background then stamped it onto white card with black ink and coloured it with dried marigold, then I cut it out and attached it to the card. I stamped the image twice again and cut the umbrellas out, two were left black and white and I coloured the other two with Promarkers. I attached them to the page together with a torn piece of a dictionary and some raindrop and splat stickers from my stash.

Stamps used.
Craft Stamper free stamp, background strawberry and teacup and saucer.
Joanna Sheen, strawberry recipe.
Personal Impressions, strawberry.
Lost Coast Designs, tea party.
Magenta, umbrellas.

Chunky Alphabet Book P Q and R

P is for Peter Pan.
First I stamped the flying boys and then masked them off. I coloured the background with distress ink then removed the masks and coloured the boys with Promarkers then I stamped the buildings across the bottom of the page. Next I stamped Peter and Wendy on to some white card and coloured them with Promarkers, then I cut them out and attached them to the page.
Stamps used:
Artistic Outpost, the Peter Pan images.
Crafty Individuals, the buildings.
Q is for Queen.
I stamped the main image onto some white card and coloured it with distress ink then I cut it out and matted it on to the background, the background was some that I'd made a while ago, then I matted this onto some black card. I stamped the crown onto some gold mirri card then cut it out and attached to the page then I added the flower with a black gem in its centre. The word queen was a rub on that I found in my stash.
Stamps used:
Crafty Individuals, the main image.
Cherry Pie Artstamps, the crown.
R is for Rabbit.
I coloured the background with Adirondack brights. I stamped the image onto white card twice and coloured one of them with distress inks, cut it out and attached it to the page. Then I coloured just the rabbit on the other one and cut the rabbit out then attached it to the main image with some silicone glue. Lastly I attached an alphabet brad.
Stamps used:
Non Sequitur, all images.

Chunky Alphabet Book M N and O

M is for music.
The background is a piece of card that I embossed with a Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder, I coloured it with distress ink. I'm not sure who made the stamps that I used but I stamped the main image onto white card and on to a post it note. I cut out the image on the post it note to use as a mask on the image on the white card. I coloured the card with distress inks and then removed the mask. The other bits that I used are an alphabet brad and a metal flower with a jewel in its centre.
N is for Nefertiti.
I used a baby wipe to colour the background with Marvy Blending Blox ink. The pyramids are made by cutting a triangle shape out of some Cut-n-Dry foam and using it as a stamp. Again I'm not sure who made the stamps that I used, but I stamped the main image and name onto some turquoise card, then I cut them out and stuck them onto some black card, then I cut round the image to leave a black border. I stamped a few beetles along the bottom of the card and then attached the image and name and a few nail heads.
O is for owl.
I coloured the background with distress inks, before I did this I made a mask for the moon so that it would stay white then I stamped over the moon with a Clarity Stamps moon and cloud stamp, then I stamped a little owl silhouette. I added trees [Crafty Individuals] along the bottom. The main owl image is by Joanna Sheen, I stamped this onto some white card and coloured it by using a water brush and some distress ink. I then attached it to the background with some sticky foam.
