The Secret Garden was and still is a favourite book of mine.
This double page spread in my journal has a mopped up background, the yellow that was spilled all over my desk last week. Just right for the natural scene I had in mind .
I used a variety of stencils and painted over the daisies with acrylic paint and a red liner pen
These quotes from the book are from
what remains of a well used Graphics 45 paper pad.

I don't have a secret garden but if I did. I hope it would appeal to Mary.

Wonderful pages, and I am sure Mary would love them, too. I think the idea of a secret garden is something very appealing to us all. Have a lovely day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYou may not have a secret garden, but you have captured the hearts of Mary and all who have joined AJJ this month. Fabulous spread and kudos to a fantastic host. Your garden is a delight, secret or not!

Thank goodness for life beyond the apps! Bloglovin wouldn't let me comment so you almost had a secret comment to go with this delightful secret garden! Broken my glasses too but at least I have magnifiers with me so I can still see (ish!) to comment...

Love this bright cheerful page. I am a very naughty journal person. Have loads of them with a page or two finished, then I go on to something else. Must discipline myself.
ReplyDeleteWonderful page Yvonne. The combination of plants and flowers is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
