It's time to once again join Rosie at Rosie's Kleine Bastelwelt who is this month's host at Art Journal Journey. Her theme this month is Spring.
What better to signify spring than flowers.
I dug into my canceled postage stamps and found these beautiful spring flowers.
I save everything, including the stamps my dear friend Valerie has sent me at various times that included spring flowers.
I created this in my Challenges altered book. The background is one I made using Twinkling H20s during a Second Thursday tutorial a few months back. Since the card stock didn't cover the entire page, I added a bit of shaving cream paper to the top and bottom. In retrospect, I wish I had placed the shaving cream paper on top, so it would blend better. Live and learn, though.I really appreciate your visit and your taking time to check out my art today. I also hope to see you at Art Journal Journey, too.

Beautiful stamps are always worth saving and re-using, and you put them to great use here on your lovely page. Have a nice day, we've still got snow here. Valerie
waue, I love those stamps do you think she wants to send decorated envelopes?
Wow this is so different and I love this unique design. Good you saved these pretty stamps. A doctor I used to work for made us always take the stamps off and then they were donated to some charity...good idea.xx 💖 [Aussie aNNie's Blog]

Wonderful page to celebrate Spring with all those lovely flower stamps!
You did find so beautiful stamps. I haven't seen any of these before. Maybe they don't send spring stamps to New England because we never really get spring until everyone else is getting ready for summer. :) That Colorado stamp is a piece of art in itself. Loving your spring page and the hope it send this way. Happy Sunday. Hope it is really a spring day for you. Hugs-Erika

Aren't these stamps pretty? And your background....perfect.

I am partial to flower designs on stamps, and I think we're all ready for spring flowers. Yes! I do like the dark background.
