Yo-Yo!

This week it is letter Y in the Craft Barn's alpha challenge....well there's not many words to choose from.......but I decided to choose Yo-Yo! And the second part is to use yellow - well you don't have to ask me twice to use yellow hehe :)

Here are the results:


I used Dylusions lemon zest and pure sunshine and highlighted the definition with an orange fineliner. I stamped various background stamps using sepia archival and distress mustard seed. I used vintage photo distress stain around the edge of the page. I stuck down some strips of paper tape. Then I made some yo-yo's by taking some offcuts that had already been coloured and punching out some circles and on the large one I stamped on some arrows. I dyed some baker's twine with yellow alcohol ink and stuck it in between two circles and then stuck it all on to the page.

Then I stamped on the word Yo Yo and slighted highlighted that and around the edge of the yo-yo's using a craft nib and some walnut stain distress ink, and I think that's it! Now off to watch the tennis.........
