I'm back today with another journal page for Butterfly from Words and Pictures who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme is Summer Countryside.
I don't always remember to create step-out photos unless I'm creating a tutorial. Today, I actually remembered to do just that. I first laid down a partial napkin on 110 lb cardstock.
Next, I grabbed my handmade shimmering mists and gently gave three different greens a light spray.
Walk with me by a field of sunflowers in the countryside.
I used three thicknesses of white cardstock and one thickness of black to build up the words. I used a black Sharpie for the words.
Bleubeard and I are thrilled you visited today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Summer Countryside.

Gorgeous page, lovely colours! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
I would be more than happy to walk with you.
Stunning serviette used and love the gorgeous outcome. xx
Lovely page Elizabeth - I remember the fields of sunflowers when we drove through France one year. Thank you for the memory. Your sunflowers make for a lovely sunny countryside page. Your handwriting is fine - easily readable and quite nice cursive script.
Happy days
Hugs, Neet xxx
I always forget to take step by step photos too, so good for you for remembering. This is a great page. Nice splatters. I love the black outlined words and background too. This is perfect for Alison's challenge. Sunflowers are beautiful in the summer. I am actually growing some this year, waiting for them to bloom, and I bought a pot yesterday at the store which is blooming. I just couldn't resist. Hope all is well. Hugs-Erika
I hope your day includes some real flowers too!
Check my blog on Monday -- I'll be out of touch, but it will be ready.

Sunflowers are my favorite flower :)

p.s. you are not dense..... if you weren't sure about the term, that's OK; I had to ask CJ on her post today what the significance of the number 42 was !!!!!
♥♥ "gotcha day" is the day a pet is "adopted" and brought home from say a shelter or pet store...in mackerull's case it was the day he was trapped and brought in from "livin life on de streetz " and came to live with me and de big katoona ~~~

Gorgeous page with those sunflowers. :)
This is just such a happy piece! I like it lots, Elizabeth!
Love this, and your handwriting is great. I often sit weeks and weeks later on a note I made and think "???".
Funny I pooped in so late and have the theme "summer" today, too.
popped!!!! My keyboard fools me! Oh, help, hope it gave you a laugh...
You had me at sunflowers! Lovely napkin, cool sprays and splatters, and lovely words. Love this happy page, Elizabeth. Hugz
Lovely sunflower page. I love sunflowers! Thanks for the step by step. I usually forget to take those photos, too.
I love this page and all those beautiful sunflowers.

That's a delightful napkin to start the page off, and I love the life in your spritzes and splatters, and then the jaunty angles of the words. I'd happily go for a walk with you here!
