It's Thursday, and I would normally be joining Rain's Thursday Art Date. However, there wasn't a fairy in sight when I searched for one.
That means I had time to create a journal page that relates to Spring, which is Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey.
I named this Imported flowers. I have included a few detail images.
I started by gluing a sheet of gifted scrapbook paper to 110 lb. cardstock. Note the scrapbook flowers. I plan to use the leftovers in a future journal spread. To make the flowers, I cut ovals from paint chip samples and foreign text. I used a felt tipped green pen to make the leaves and stems of the flowers. I glued the grosgrain ribbon along the width of the page so the stems would have a place to grow. I computer generated the words, then colored them green using a watercolor pencil.
Bleubeard and I
are delighted you joined us and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring.
Great idea and... morning gymnastics ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove these flowers, they have a 70s vibe, nice memories for me. Thanks for linking again to my chalenge at AJJ, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSorry Im not about much!
good morning, I love these flowers perfect for Valeries Spring are you getting cold and snow? we are suppose to get 3 inches starting tonight with lows 9 degrees ugh
ReplyDeleteCute flowers. They remind me of Flower Power from the late 60s and early 70s
ReplyDeleteI love this. I almost squealed aloud when I saw it because I have the pad of paper that the background came from. I love your flowers and your interpretation of the them.
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful. I think collage is one of your artistic strengths.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cheerful, Elizabeth. Very happy and perfect for a spring day.
ReplyDeleteWell your art looks like a faerie garden to me. I would still join in with TAD. The garden is just as important. Update your post and come on over.
ReplyDeleteThis page is a true inspiration, Elizabeth. Amazing flowers. Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeletethis turned out really nice Elizabeth ...maybe next week the fairy will show up :) ♥♥
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute, simple flowers! Cheery and bright. :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have any fairies either, so I think you made the right choice sharing this page. I am loving all these flowers, both the ones on the paper and the cool circle ones you made. I am ready for some flowers now, and I am definitely jealous of people who are showing spring bulbs blooming around them. And I will also vicariously enjoy these. Hope it was a nice Thursday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice set of images!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your cheerful collage blooms Elizabeth! They made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous Spring flowers Elizabeth and makes for a beautiful AJJ page for Valerie's theme, hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWhat a super idea and what a great way to use up those paint chart/chips. I love how you used the text for the ventres. Love your Spring garden Elizabeth.
