Altered playing card for the Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary challenge. Reading the dictionary gives me 'knight' and this gorgeous VLVS Steampunk Warrior sprang to mind. So that decided the colours. In line with the VLVS challenge.
I stuck a piece of lined paper on my card and painted with Paperartsy fresco finish Limelight. Then
My knight is stamped and embossed on DCWV dotty paper. The be true is another VLVS stamp. I did some smudging with Versamark and black embossing powder on the chevron paper. Then I added some blobs of Art Anthology dimensional paint and used a cocktail stick to draw them out to make Fairy green stars (LHS). Wrote out the OED definition cos I still haven't sorted out the printer......... Not in a 'tackle technological things' mood........
Thanks for dropping by. Wishing you days filled with sunshine and mojo. Hugz

Hullo fellow Disaster Averter!!! Your Knight came to the rescue!!!! Love it! Love the process - & technology! My computer is at the Docs & I'm trying to use an over 10 yo mothballed low memory laptop! HUH! Don't have much hair left...sooooo get where you're coming from on lotsa places!!!!!!
Loved your description of your road to the finished article, made me smile, and a great word to use. Accordingly to those that know there is no such thing as a disaster in art. So what's all that stuff in my bin ??
I just love when a series of 'wrongs' turns out so right! This is fantastic and I love it! Thanks for entering it in the VLVS Challenge..good luck :)
Love the colours and that knight stamp is fabulous.
You were having one of my weeks, Gail! But you can't tell it by the results all that yummy line green and a knight to boot! Thanks for playing with us for the "Men and Boys" Event! xx
WOW. I love that knight and to think that's a stamp. I love it. I also like the way you managed to cover your mistake. It was a great cover-up! And of course, I adore your K word, this fortnight, because it's unique.
He looks awesome against the bright green. The addition of the chevron paper makes an awesome background.
It all looks as if by design, not by accident! Your knight looks awesome and perfect for the word.
Great card - love that acid green!
I love that bright lime green and black, it looks fabulous. Great choice for K. I think I need a pot of Limelight, it looks amazing.

A great card. I love the bold colours to go with the knight. Twisted citron is one of my favourites. x
