The twist this time, as you see from the heading, is to use a word starting between Fe and Fr.... I thought about fish... but decided on frog - I have several stamps for both, and haven't used any of either for years!! Time to get out the green!! I always did like Kermit...
I started by highlighting round the definition in my dictionary so I didn't paint over it, and painted the double page with Guacamole Fresco paint by Paperartsy. This is a light green, and opaque so it covered the rest of the dictionary page nicely.
I stamped one page entirely with my leaping frog, loads of times, and coloured them in with the crushed olive distress marker.
On the other page I coloured two frogs that I stamped on white card and stuck onto the page, plus a little frog in a pond over the definition.
The reeds at the foot of the page are a Stampscapes stamp.
Despite what initially seemed quite a tough choice, this page came together really quickly!

LOL, see if them on twitter had of had their way, you've of gotten rid of these stamps by now, but you just knew they'd come in handy for something didn't you and I love your Kermit green shade.
