Failed to Publish has reared its ugly head again. One comment got through and the rest are just waiting to "try again later."
Today I'm joining Halle of Halle's Hobbies at Art Journal Journey. Halle is challenging us to think about Botanicals, which is her theme for July.
I called this Lacy beauty. Detail images are below.
I started with the black and white image I found on The Graphics Fairy. In PhotoShop, I lightened the leaves and printed it using my black-only toner printer. I started with watercolors, but realized they are hard to control. Also, the number of green watercolors are limited in the set I have. That's when I switched to watercolor pencils. I had numerous greens to choose from. Once I completed the coloring, I cut the image and adhered it to a sheet of ledger paper. Next, I added the two sentiments I outlined in black dye ink.
Thank you for your visit. I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey and maybe even share your own interpretation of Botanicals.
A very beautiful, summery page!

I like how you colored the flower; I thought it came that way. You do have some lovely greens to use. And it is a pretty flower too. I like ones that look like they could be growing wild along the side of the road. :) Hope it's been a good week, and thanks for joining Halle's challenge. hugs-Erika (and good luck with your commenting too)
