Floral smiles


Its really lovely to see some colour in the gardens as we hopefully move into Spring
I have created another page for Jo's theme 
Hello  Springtime over at




I used some modelling paste to add texture to the stencil I  was using.
There had been I think some wiped over  wax crayon on the page to begin with. After it had dried out I coloured with distress oxide inks.
More fussy cut flowers and a few home made leaves, I am not a natural artist so they are a bit on the basic messy side.

I thought this quote was appropriate to how I feel when   I see a bit of colour in the garden.




Thank you for stopping by to see me, I hope you all  have a good day.

  14. This is a stunner Yvonne, you really are bringing out the best of Spring those flowers remind me of violets that edged my Great GrandMothers oldly shaped back garden. What a lovely memory you just brought to me, I may have to use that for a future make.
    Thank you for the inspiration.
