Altered Dictionary - R

This fortnight's letter for the Alpha Challenge is R
and my word to illustrate in my altered dictionary is
 
Rouge
 
 
I stamped the face stamp and added rouge to her cheeks and all was good.  Then I tried to do something with the word and definition and turned the whole thing into a disappointing mess.  I really wanted to rip the page out and make it disappear.  But, I wasn't going to do that, so I set out to fix it.  It's better.  That's the best I can say about it.

    I think she's perfect. What else could you do to depict that word? A little rogue on her cheeks is good!

    Rouge is a good "R" word and your creation is very cool!

    Oh Annie, I wish I had started out doing the type of pages that you do instead of my inky, messy ones! Your pages always look so neat and classical! Fabulous work my lovely!

    I think this lady in rouge looks very elegant peeking out on your "R" page - great job!

    And I thought I was a perfectionist! Whatever was wrong before, it looks perfect now and I can see that the dictionary likes it. Attractive artwork as always, Annie.

    oh that reminds me of my Ballet/Stage days as my mother always put rouge on my cheeks. Usually known as blusher now. I don't think your page is a mess at all, in fact quite striking and the face is framed really well. BJ
