Today I've created some fantasy flowers.
Her theme is Heavy Metal.
Note the flourish I tried to add on the end of the "s." It is supposed to match the "stems" of the flowers.
It's hard to photograph gold, so there are some glaring flowers in the mix.
For this page, I began with 110 lb. cardstock, to which I added three colors of green and a bit of gold for the background. The flowers are washed and dried peanut butter cup holders and the stems are removed from recipes I used in a previous journal page. The flowers were covered with gold fluid acrylic paint. I was going to color all the stems, but decided that was too much bling. I'm not really a bling person. Thanks so incredibly much for visiting today. I hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey. And I hope to catch up with everyone soon.
These reminded me of little chocolate cups. Very well done Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteHope you are recovering well from your eyes.
Cool! LOL, I´ve never heard of peanut butter cup holders. The shape reminds of some very, very sweet stuff my Grandma had. It was a pain, so sweet and she was always so proud to give them to me hence I "ate" them, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the memory, "ach choi, ach choi"!
Beautiful, beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are recovering well.

ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous flowers. I like the idea of fantasy flowers. Maybe they can bloom outside right now in the cold. This is a clever page my dear friend. Love those flowers. Stay warm. And hopefully you're not in that bad weather I see on the news. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty way to do the stems! And peanut butter -- yum! This is a fun one.
ReplyDeleteI really thought the flowers were some sort of bottle caps. Brilliant on the use of PB cup papers. Stay warm and safe today.
ReplyDeleteYummm :) I love those peanut butter cups, and this is such a fun use of the wrappers.
