Now I am so glad I didn't use "fish" for my F letter recently - because I can use them on my "underwater" page.
I decided to work on watercolour paper and then stick it into my dictionary, cutting out the definition of course.
I stamped some reeds (Stampscapes) in olive archival and stencilled some seaweed (from the crafters workshop with fish on) in moved lawn distress ink. Added some white highlights with a Sharpie.
I should have photographed it flat before I stuck it into the dictionary, as it has proved quite hard to do now!!
Look forward to seeing what other U's there are this fortnight.

Visiting from The Craft Barn - What a beautifully tropical page. The colours are so vibrant & the stamps are all so fantastic :0)
That's gorgeous, love the little fishes at the top.
Oh my goodness look how fast your are and your pages are grand. Beautifully done and I love your word. We all need to go under the water more often!!!

Hi Helen - I had trouble photographing my U page too! - It kept wanting to close because of the weight of the rest of the book behind it - and it wouldn't work on the easel I usually use either. I love your pages, you could dive right in and scuba along with those fish! MMx
What a gorgeous underwater scene! Love it Helen! x
Fantastic pages Helen, great idea to use water colour paper and what a great word for 'u'
