F with a twist
It is time for the Craft Barn alpha/dictionary challenge. I’m sneaking this one in only a smidgeon ahead of the deadline! We had to come up with something beginning with the letter ‘F’ but there had to be a heart in the mix somewhere. My first heart didn’t show up as a proper defined heart so had to add a small line of green hearts at the top right corner.
I was also able to use up a few things from my craft stash that have been hanging around for more years than I care to think about! The three fans and the gold string beads have been lurking in a drawer for too long.
Materials:
Graphic 45 pearls of Wisdom paper from the Bird Song Collection
Distress Inks – Cracked Pistachio; Mermaid Lagoon; Abandoned Coral.
Stamp – Stamp Addict and small heart was a free stamp from Craft Stamper magazine.
Fans and gold beads from craft stash.
Thank you for looking x

Always a pleasing feeling when you put long time residents in your craft stash to good use! The little hearts finish off your piece perfectly.
I like the design with the torn apart paper, the embellishments are spot on too for your chosen word. Great page!
I love this – it’s fabulous.

I’m very, very late and know it, but I simply had to visit, even though the next CB challenge has already been posted. I simply love it when I can use up old stash in a new and unique way to what I got it for. This is a great entry. I really LOVE the fans, and the fact that no one came up with this word to use. Creative and gorgeous, right down to the beads you chose.
This is such a good idea and how satisfying to be able to use your bits from your stash. A great piece.
The embellishments and background paper work perfectly with each other. There’s a reason crafters have such a lot of stuff so that we can find the perfect elements at the right time x
Lovely Lynn, love the fans and hearts together. That paper is Oh so perfect with the fans too! What can I say??? I love your works! XO

Great page, beautiful fans! xx
Sorry Lynn, I’m very late visiting. You get such warm glow, don’t you when using up bits from your stash – it must be the heat coming of ones halo! A great choice of word and I love the torn paper revealing the hearts.
Your page is lovely – great word choice! Plus using up a few old bits and pieces is very satisfying .
