I was inspired to create this when I saw Jo's Bloom entry. Mine is a pale imitation, but I am still happy with the results.
Today I'm celebrating Valentine's Day with an entry for Try it on Tuesday. This fortnight their theme is Hearts and/or Flowers. I call this Flowering Hearts. I have quite a few detail shots, too.
I started this page using two water soluble crayons to signify the sky and two water soluble crayons to create the grass. While the page was drying, I created the sentiment on my regular laser printer. I then colored the sentiment using the same water soluble crayons.I went through my stash of heart buttons and glued five to the substrate. Using a fine liner Sharpie, I drew the lines and hearts that were attached to the buttons and open hearts.
I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Try it on Tuesday. And have a lovely, although belated Valentine's Day.
I also have a very late Mardi Gras entry.
I don't have time for detail shots, but I want to show how much I absolutely adore my new color laser printer that I am still learning how to use. And sadly, it's been so long since I used my sewing machine, I forgot (until half way through) crucial steps when using the zig-zag function.Thanks for spending some time here, today.
Your love page is fantastic, Elizabeth. Great watercolor background and lovely drawing of the stems and leaves. Enjoy your new color laser printer, my friend. (I have a color printer too but it is an inkjet). Kisses!

That's a great Valentine's Day page Elizabeth. . I like those heart buttons, especially the ones that are only the basic shape. You rocked that sky. It really came out amazing. You created some wonderful clouds. I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day my friend. hugs-Erika
