Petals

 Hi everyone.  

Today Rain's Art and Dinner Date  theme is petals, and Aimeslee's Art Journal Journey theme is flowers. They both (obviously) work together, so let me start off my post by sharing this spread in my small album.


The words and pictures come from a vintage children's gardening book, although I did end up adding some confetti flowers to the potted plants.  The background is painted and then stamped. 

This isn't the most complex page I've ever made, but to make up for it, let me share lots of petal photos.
















You have to love the spring blooms.
Have a wonderful day and rest of your week also.

This is a great theme, because I think that at this time of the year you could simply go outside, point the camera, and the result would include some petals! Hugs - David

Wow, what gorgeous garden flower photos 🏡 and a sweet spread with petals🌱.
We have here a rainy period of spring, but green is the main color of nature.
Happy spring time to you 💚😘

I like your journal page - it really doesn't always have to be someting elaborate. Simple is often so much more beautiful.
Lovely flowers - isn't this just a wonderful time?
Have a lovely long weekend, Erika!

You nailed both the journal spread AND the petal photos. Your spread is absolutely perfect for AJJ and Aimeslee's theme.

Are all the lovely blooms from your garden, Erika, or from one of your adventures? Regardless, you have captured some spring beauty.

Good advice for pretty flowers :) My seeds have grown but are far from flowering.

You can't go wrong with petals ... nothing but picture after picture of beauty. And, I love your little garden pages and they speak truth when it come to planting flowers in pots. Fun, fun, Erika ... and yes, I love the blooms of Spring. There is something hopeful about new life :)
