Woodware week: Michelle

Hi, 

Michelle's day today and I am so happy she made this sample. I too keep on saying that I want to stamp a dictionary. I  have seen this quite often on several blogs, and I really like the idea. 

Basically, for those who haven't see this before, you open a page, pick a word you know you have a stamp for, and alter the pages with that stamp (and highlight the word too one way or another). 

If you, like Michelle and I, are avid stamps collectors, that's a good way to use them (and go through your stash of stamps... you know.. the ones you forgot you had... or those which have never been inked even). 
And what a fun thing to do with your kiddos too. I know my daughter would love it... I might actually try to find a French dictionary too so she can learn the words in both languages ;)

Anyway, back to Michelle and her A for aeroplanes. How cute is this?

She used Woodware clear set Patch a flight (adorable set)

Over to Michelle now... 

I've wanted to stamp in a dictionary for a while and have finally managed to get hold of a little gem dictionary to start with while I keep my eyes open for an old battered one to 'alter'

Because the pages are usually so thin it is necessary to use a colouring medium which wont bleed through to the back of the page so I decided to use my pencils. All I did was stamp in versafine then colour with pencils and blend with a fine rubber where I wanted a fadeout.

I'm really enjoying playing!

On her sample, Michelle used

Maybe we could do this as a challenge one day, it's so much fun. 

Would love to hear what you think in a comment below...
