Time for another entry for
The Craft Barn's Dictionary Challenge. This time round it's letter N with no twist. So before we go any further I need to apologise to Izzy for playing fast and loose with my word choice.
As you know I'm using an old French-English dictionary and I'm using the French half of the dictionary for this challenge. I have chosen the word
neige meaning... snow. My interpretation, as you can see below, is a snowman, which in French is really
un bonhomme de neige, but I'm hoping that since my
bonhomme is made from
neige (OK if you're going to be picky - cereal box, acrylic paint and ink) Izzy will forgive me?
I have used Tim Holtz's Winter Wonder die, painted with white acrylic and inked with DI. The hat and carrot nose have been flocked and the seam binding stained with Fired Brick DS. The snow and snowflakes are heat embossed with Stampendous Winter Wonderland embossing powder.
I'm really quite fond of my jolly snowman :0)
Excellent word choice, super page. BJ
