A single flower

 

Today we welcome a new host at Art Journal Journey.  It is a first time host, and my internet friend Sheila, who many of you know as Orange Esmeralda.  Her theme this month is A Single Flower.

This is my take on a single flower.

I got a little carried away on the photos.

My little flower is potted.

It is aptly named Songflower.

I even remembered to use the date stamp (and correctly for a change).

I created the background in my watercolor journal by swiping green watercolor on the page.  I was going for the mottled look so it didn't compete with the focal flower.  I cut the focal flower petals, leaves, and stem from various pages in an old song book.  Even the title was written on part of one of the pages.

For the flower petals, leaves, and stem, I got out my Twinkling H2Os and went to town laying down bits of color on several song book pages.  When dry, I cut them and adhered them to the page using a glue stick.   I wrote the title using two metallic gel pens, then added the date stamp.

Thank you ever so much for visiting today.   Sheila, Chris, Erika, Valerie, Yvonne, Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey with your own take on A Single Flower.
