Rain to grow the flowers!

This is my last chance to link to Art Journal Journey where Linda's theme 'For the Record' gave me so many ideas! Unfortunately by being away then poorly I haven't used many those ideas at all.

 I used to love listening to Pat Boone (I saw him on TV recently and he has aged for sure but still has that lovely smile!)

'April Love' was one of his big hits back in the 50's, he had so many though! He was also a writer and appeared in many films.

 Here is my page with one of the lines from the song


I used some stamps I bought last year while in France.They were stamped and coloured in with Coloursoft pencils then painted over with Paper Artsy Pearl glaze - I love how shiny they are  now! I outlined everything with anInktense grey pencil and pulled it out with a water brush and smudged the edges.The words from the song....my attempt at hand writing! 
I am also linking to

Moo Mania and More for the theme - Floral
Posted from my phone - if we get a connection!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    Gorgeous flowers. I know Pat Boone but not this song, but if your blooms are anything like the song, it must be a very good song indeed. Happy May!

    This is a gorgeous page, Chris. The flowers are beautiful and sparkle. I fear I don't really know Pat Boone, but I love how you interpreted the song. Your garden is truly lovely after the rain, unlike mine which is a mess! Of course, your garden is on paper, and that makes it even more beautiful because the flowers will never die.

    This is beautiful Chris - really gorgeous. Boy I remember Pat Boone and his very white shoes. What a crooner is was. Do hope you are feeling better Sugar.
