The latest letter was posted this morning for the Craft Barn Alpha Challenge - and it was a challenge - K.
There aren't many pages in my dictionary for K so my choice was severely limited; but I chose Key.
I started by stencilling my hitherto unused mini Antiquities stencil (crafters workshop) with walnut stain distress ink on the background of the dictionary.
I found a key stamp (Paperartsy, crown and castles series) stamped it in coffee archival.
I took two Bazzill Chips keys from my stash and coloured them first with vermillion, then olive, archival ink, drying in between, to get a dark nearly rusty look.. I then double embossed them, using clear embossing ink to re-moisten the ink.

Great take on the letter K. The Keys looks cool.
Visiting from the Craft Barn - Fabulous key stamp. Not seen one quite so big. Nice page :0) Mo
This is so cool, Helen - simply done, but so effective. The repeated key image in stencilling, stamping and then 3D looks fab against all the visible text... love it!

I love the simplicity of this page Helen! x
Great word choice, would have loved to pick tat one myself. Maybe I still will, even though I try to avoid picking words that already have been picked by someone. Hugs Frea
Great take on the theme, love the background stamping x
Fun pages, great interpretation
Great choice of word; I love all the different interpretations of the theme over the text. x

Super Key pages Helen, those keys look real to me. I clean forgot the challenge until just now - doh still in decopatch mode LOL - BJ

That was quick! An interesting DPS with lots of different interpretations of the word.
Fab take on your word. Love the uncluttered approach.
I think this page is wonderful, keys being a fav of mine and I am so totally stealing this idea for my altered dictionary!! ;) Annette
Keys are such a great accessory stamp to have! Love your page. I will go back and do keys in my dictionary one day too.
Beautiful pages!
This is a very good rust effect. Like the way the keys are scattered.
