Spring Flowers

 

Tuesday I did my civic duty and voted.  This was a special election that involved an increased sales tax.  I was happy I voted, but my vote didn't matter that much because 82% of us (nearly 42,000), myself included, voted NO, and only 18% (about 9,100) voted yes.  It was the biggest turnout of a special election voted on in years.  Our mayor, who I did NOT vote for into office, was behind the yes decision and even caused the special election.  I don't see her chances of re-election in two years being all that great!  

Now let's make some art!!  Today I'm at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) with a journal page for my friend Chris, this month's host, who can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Her theme this entire month is Spring Forward.

It's obvious I named this Spring Flowers.  Detail images are below.

 

I began by adhering vintage sheet music to 5.5 X 8 inch (13.97 X 20.32 centimeter) 110 lb cardstock.  I then added various parts of the top layer of a napkin to the page.  I then added a butterfly, but misjudged where it was to go and at least 1/4th was off the page.  When I tried to remove it and re-adhere it, I tore it.  I probably should have left it off because part of it was still off the page the second time I added it.  Finally I added the computer generated words.

 

Thank you so much for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward.
