We had quite a lot of rain recently and now it seems with the sunshine everything wants to show off their Spring colours!
I stencilled some Tim Holtz wildflowers and then stamped a variety of grasses form various sources. The Paper Artsy Hotpicks bluebells(HP1010), for the purposes of early spring, are masquerading as very open Hyacinths.
I added some stamping and doodling to make raindrops around the flowers.
I am pretty sure that whatever the weather we will be going out for a walk in a garden somewhere today!
This is my latest entry at Art Journal Journey for Yvonne's theme - Out And About.
I would also like to enter the challenges at
The Artistic Stamper - Springtime
Stamping Sensations - Close to nature
Craft Stamper Make It - Take It March - Anything Goes challenge
Thanks for looking, Chris

Oh my .. this is just BEAUTIFUL Chris!
A wonderful page ! Your pages to this month's theme are all so brilliant! Thank you very much!
Hope that when the sun arrives here again after a few rainy days now, it will all show off spring colours as well soon- it's still grey and not much blooming here.
Happy Thursday and thank you for all the support to this month's theme at AJJ again!

Yes, you DO have a love of flowers, don't you? These flowers are beautiful, and the entire page is wonderfully done. It's a beautiful and springtime entry, which is so different from yesterday's dramatic entry.
Das ist so wunderschön.

I'm still waiting to get my hand on any oxides.. What a great page, love the background, and the flowers are gorgeous.
Fabulous effects with the Oxides Chris and the flower display. I need to get mine out again and have another play. Have a great weekend xxx
I do enjoy looking at the effect you create with your new Distress Oxides - beautiful! We had rain earlier this week then glorious sunshine which is forecast to continue for the next few days :-) . Wishing you a great weekend! J :-)
I wish we had rain to grow flowers instead of snow. This is a gorgeous page Chris. You are on a roll with fabulous art lately. Hugs-erika
Oh so lovely Chris and I am with you...never enough flowers.
We are enjoying the splendid blues of the Muscari that are popping up all over the garden just now.
Each time a flower blooms I think..."oh this one is my favorite" 💙🐝💙
