Hi everyone. Tuesday has rolled around again and we have a new challenge over at Try It On Tuesday:
Say It With Flowers
Since British Mothering Sunday (Mother's Day) is on March 31, I decided to make my page not only filled with flowers but also as a tribute to mother's all over also.
I began with some blue checkered paper, and did a little Gelli print over it. Then I hand painted and the flowers with acrylic paints and used both a Sharpie and a Stabilo pencil to outline the flower petals and leaves. I added the white cloth trim and some colorful paper tape, as well as some gold rhinestones along the paper tape. Then I stamped the word cherish, but purposely made it a little lighter so not to make it compete with the flowers. I added the TH found relatives and a cloth 2 heart sticker.
And since this page has a spring like feel (even if Mom and son are in more wintery clothing), I will be linking it up to Jo's Hello Springtime challenge at Art Journal Journey also.
And before I sign off, I want to thank Sabine for being a great hostess last challenge and welcome our new hostess Reoplane.
So put some blooms into your life. I look forward to seeing your flower art in the next 2 weeks.
Wonderful page Erika, we all have to be thankful for our mothers. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSuper page, love those wonderful hand painted flowers! The look fantastic against that fab background. The lace and sweet paper doll are great finishing touches. Have to say though, she looks more like a grandma with that little one, but hey, grandmas are mothers too, so all good...
ReplyDeleteLove that strip of tape marrying it all together, Erika. Your painted flowers are beautiful and I love the subtle 'cherish' stamping in the background. It's a great page.

A lovely Mother's Day sentiment. I love the blue gingham background, flowers, and eyelet. Reminds me of aprons moms used to wear. Enjoy the sunshine.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet tribute to mothers :) I love the eyelet trim.
