The dictionary I am using is so old that the paper is very fragile -- I have to be careful and they really want to curl up thus the clothes pins on the four corners. I tried a metal clip but they tend to tear the paper.
I used a digital stamp called MIDNIGHT WARRIOR by the artist Sara Burrier. I think she is gorgeous. So she became the inspiration for my work mask. Please visit the Craft Barn to see all the wonderful dictionary pages.

I have to admit I love these pages - learned a lot and especially what not to do ! I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my creative endeavors and all your comments make my heart smile (well as long as they are nice!)

Fabulous Sandy!! You're right, she is beautiful and you colored her to perfection. Hey I think great minds think alike! LOL!

Sandy, that is most certainly a gorgeous stamp. Perfect for MASK! And making her the moonlight warrior adds to her beauty and mysteriousness. Your dictionary does look somewhat fragile...all the better, I think!
Oh Sandy, this is TOTALLY FABULOUS. What a great image. Beautifully done.

I am looking at the detail on this image and I am impressed with all the cutting of this you did and the beautiful night sky with the full moon shining on her. The eyes are gorgeous with the black lines of the mask and the colors of her skin and shadows. What a terrific and unique word to choose and the two pair perfectly together. Another great dictionary page Sandy!!

This is gorgeous, Sandy. I love your colouring of that fabulous stamp. It's beautiful and depicts the theme so well. The layout of this spread is wonderful...so striking. Great use of negative space and background colour. You inspired me to play along this week :) Thanks.
Wow! This is a show-stopper. This is going to be one stunning dictionary when you finish it, and an heirloom to pass along. What do you use for coloring the stamped image? You definitely carried out your Mask theme. TFS
This is amazing! What a gorgeous image which you colored beautifully!
Beautiful page, Sandy.
Wonderful colouring and great choice of word.
Love the really old books with their thin and fragile paper. Think things look better on it than a new book.
