Journal 52, Week 47: Wise Words

For Week 47 of Journal 52, Chelle's prompt was Wise Words.

I immediately went to the internet to find a few good quotes.  As I was collecting them, I realized many of the ones I picked had a garden or flower theme.

I don't own any of those fancy dies that cut realistic flowers, so I had to make my own. 

I was able to use my 3" punch on some of the quotes (note the bird punch contains the week number)

but others didn't work out quite so well.  The "tulip" I free hand cut was originally going to be a poppy, but I messed it up, so had to turn it into a sad tulip.

I used both my new white Gelli pen

and a black Micron pen to doodle around the circles.  I added the flowery washi tape to signify flower stems. My usual substrate is a used file folder that I painted a rather dark gray.

Thanks as always for your positive feedback on my J52 entries.  They are always appreciated.  I hope you found a few of these words of wisdom were uplifting and you plant them in your own garden of happiness, too.


For Day 22 of AEDM,

I shared my latest entry for Journal 52.
