Etsy Inspired Challenge #128 - The Hidden Alphabet

Hi there!  It's the weekend...yay!!

It's time for this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge.

Our shop today is The Hidden Alphabet where 'ordinary objects and architectural elements are turned into original, photographic art that resemble letters of the alphabet'.  

I had all sorts of ideas for this using lettering, but then I thought I'd use the images instead as my inspiration.  It's not easy to see in my photo but the flower is actually layered so the chequered petals are raised to give a 3d effect.

This image inspired me to use the flower and leaves by Wendy Vecchi

The next picture inspired me to use some black cardstock

and this final picture inspired me to use my embossing folder with the little crosses on

Stamps: Wendy Vecchi stamps, 'Ticket to Art', 'Flower Art' & 'Make Mine Mini Art'
Papers: Bazzill Cardstock in black, green and coral
Accessories: Cuttlebug Moroccan Embossing Folder, white ink pad, Bazzill polka dot brad, Ranger distress ink - fired earth

The winner will get an 8 x 10 Personalised LOVE Print from The Hidden Alphabet, like this one..

Our sponsor this week is Paper and Roses who are offering up a lovely prize too..

So pop on over to check out what the rest of the DT made and then check our main blog for any bits of information that I may have missed!

ps - Not sure what is going on with my font size, it looks like one of those optician cards that they show you when you have an eye test where the font gets smaller and smaller!  Sorry, try as I might it just won't behave!!!



Have a great weekend!
