Flowers

 

I have another spread for Halle from Halle’s Hobbies, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme, as you likely know by now is I've got a notion. 

I have a feminine and a bit romantic entry today.  It qualifies for Halle's theme because the background is dressmaker's tissue and I used a ribbon, too.  Detail shots are below.

I began by applying a piece of dressmaker's tissue to the substrate using The Ultimate. While it was drying, I printed the image I found in my stash using my color laser printer.  I used a Q-tip to add the gold fluid acrylic around the edges of the focal image.  I definitely wanted the paint to be sporadic.  Because I blobbed the paint on, it took over 24 hours for it to dry.  To assemble the page, I first laid down the strip of paper with colors the same as the focal image.  Over that, I adhered the piece of ribbon left from another project.  Next came the focal image, then the sentiment from my stash.

Bleubeard and I are really happy you joined us today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey where we hope you will share your own interpretation of I've got a notion.
