Good Evening Folks!
Here is the new entry in my journal.
I have been having a lot of fun exploring and revisiting all my old friends...pastels, markers, pencils, inks...yay!!
My background was gessoed and inked with Dylusion Sprays and Stormy Sky Distress Reinker. I added lots of water and let it run down the page. The runs became the stems for my flowers :-)
The flowers (Poppies) are a stamp from the fabulous Donna Downey. These flowers are big and beautiful and were stamped with Library Green Archival Ink so that they would not smear when wet.. I colored the flowers in with my pastels and added paint dots for the centers. I used my Pitt Pen to outline the stamped flower. I made the lines to the flowers a bit more dramatic by using thick and thin lines.
I hand drew in the leaves with my pastels and highlighted them with white paint.
I am really happy with my lines and leaves...they really speak to me:-)
I added some rub-ons for the sentiment.
