FLOWERS, prompt 17.



This is my spread for our art journal, where Laurence has chosen the theme "flowers".
The background is made with watercolours, stamps and then brayered over with white acrylic.
I cut out some flowers from a mag, made some other flowers with the cuttlebug and stamped the rest.
Stamps used; Hero art, Magnolia(!), flowerstamp from a craft stamper mag and a foam stamp from Disney.



Today Luxembourg is hot and sticky. This morning I went running and it was VERY heavy to breathe. Then the sun came through the clouds and heated up the air. Now the clouds are back again and tomorrow the autumn will arrive. Rain and low temperatures. So this spread was just in time - next week we will have to do leaves instead!


Wish you all a nice start of the autumn season!

ORANGE



This is my spread for art journal journey, where the team would like to see some orange. I finished these pages today thinking of somebody I care for alot. I hate to let somebody down, but yesterday I think I did... sooo sorry!

I used stamps from inkido, artemio and hero art. Rub ons from fancypants. The wings are from Tim Holtz. Colours used - perfect pearls gold, distress ink; glimmer mists and a lot of acrylics...

Inspiration and the feeling that I HAD TO TRY THIS OUT all came from this lady. LOVE her style and I admit that this is a "copy" of her work - but I just had to give it a go!

Wish you all a sunny september!
