The Craft Barn..H is for

HATTER...I chose the word hatter for my altered dictionary page. The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge this time is the letter H, I thought this would be a fun one to do, seeing as the definition mentions 'mad or eccentric' and ' mad as a hatter' and I had the perfect stamp. Mad Hatter from The Octopode Factory. I also used the Grid stamp from Visible Image.
I wanted to create my pages with a feel of this, so went for bright colours and lots of detail juggling around. Using my eco green acrylic paints throughout. The background started by putting some on my mat spraying with water and swooshing the pages through it. Then doing the same with some card. The rest I've put in pictures rather than writing a long description. I had fun with putting the bead in paint and chasing it around the pages. A bit messy, but good. I had the midas touch afterwards. Lol. Thanks for looking.
