For
I am sharing with you my attempts
at painting a couple of flowers, lots of paint and eventually digital additions
My theme choice for July ....
In my garden there is...... a few wild flowers
This is how it all began, with my free magazine and the trusty scissors
The pages trimmed and stuck down in my 8 x8 inch journal.
I would love to have more wild flowers in my garden.
Things were not going well at this stage, I got out the spray paints,
spilled the yellow and had to mop up the bench,
spilled the yellow and had to mop up the bench,
and pages, by which time they decided curly was the look of the day.
Things wouldn't get much worse, so, have a go and paint a flower or two.
I nearly didn't show you the pages at this stage, before they had the digital additions,
but, I felt you needed a smile at my very basic creations.
My second spread for
Art Journal Journey
today is this digital version using the original backgrounds
Adding digital images to the background.
I love seeing the hedgehogs in our garden in the evenings. even Meg is used to their visits
and doesn't bark a them any more.
and doesn't bark a them any more.

Thank you for your visit today, you are always very welcome .
Added elements from Mischief Circus kits.
It was hard to get photos of the double spread,
they were photographed individually at first.

The first thing I thought Yvonne when I saw your beautiful flowers spread,
ReplyDeletewas how great they would look framed - they are brilliant!
I love your second spread of course with the sweet little hedgehogs...
aww that's good that Meg has got used to your ones visiting,
I haven't seen any of our hogs or signs of them for about a month now.
Sweltering again already - have a great day :)

Both versions are beautiful, your flowers are wonderful, you should paint more often! Thanks for all the wonderfu work you are making for AJJ, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love both versions Yvonne. Can't help but fall in love with the little hedgehogs, how freaking sweet! hugs :)
ReplyDeletePretty floral pages despite the paint spill! Love your digital additions. The hedgie pages are really cute, I would love to see real hedge hogs in our garden!!
ReplyDeleteSpills will happen! Carolyn Dube calls them OOPS outstanding opportunities presenting suddenly! Run with it lol.

Everything about your flower pages is oh SO lovely Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is really beautiful and those magazine pages make excellent background.
I have never seen a hedgehog in real life here in Virginia.
They certainly do look cute.
Better than the skunk that visits our garden sometimes and you can smell him a mile away LOL.

p.s. I have some "weed" pages to share soon too for your great theme!
Very good idea to enlarge the photo flowers. Both versions look very nice. I like it much what you did.

Your flower paintings are fabulous! I was wondering when you would use those magazine pages (I saw them on your post the other day), they compliment your paintings beautifully! I love hedgehogs too, they are very cute aren't they. Thanks! J :-)

I love your flower pages. They are so very pretty. Like the first and second editions. So sorry you had such a bum time with the paints. That happens to all of us and is so frustrating. Still, though, you and your creativity turned those lemons into delicious lemonade. Hugs...genie
ReplyDeleteWowww, both pages are very fantastic. Great backgrounds and I love the big flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreeting Carola
I love those hedgehogs you added. They are so cute! They sure make that page, and all the other pages are nice too. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your painted flowers. If I could draw that well, I'd be a very happy camper. I've never seen a real hedgehog, but I adore yours. Two wonderful entries, dear Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! I love this artwork a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!
