Ready for Spring...

In the aftermath of yesterday's events I have made a journal page and once again it's my love of flowers, especially at this time of year, that inspired my page.
We had quite a lot of rain recently and now it seems with the sunshine everything wants to show off their Spring colours!
 The background is Distress Oxides(can't stop playing with them)
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.

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" 💙🐝💙
Beautiful journal page! oxo
