Hi everyone, as I mentioned in my post earlier today, we were out most of yesterday and the page I started still needed finishing
We have seen lots of magnolia blossom this year and that was my inspiration for my page.
The page started as a second pull from a gelliplate to which I added some lotus blossom (an AAll and Create stamp) stamped twice so that I could cut out some of the flowers that got lost in the background.The cat is one of a few images I cut out of a Stamperia paper collection - it reminds me of one of my childhood cats who used to love sitting in a sunny spot in the garden with his eyes closed - I don't think he was asleep, just happy to be daydreaming in the sun.
The words are from a Tim Holtz Clippings sticker book
Here are a few magnolias(plus) that we have seen on our garden walks lately. The nearest we are going to get to a lotus!
Not magnolias but rhododendrons (maybe Azaleas?)but a beautiful pink
I know that she would have loved all the tributes and 'Inspired By' posts at Art Journal Journey by everyone this month.
Thank you all so much.
I have really enjoyed working with Erika of BioArtGirl blog this month to honour our friend Eileen.
Rest In Peace dear friend.
Thanks for looking, Chris
Aren't spring flowers the most inspiring? And beautiful too. I love this page Chris. The spring pink and flowers, as well as the cat. I love when cats sit like that and you can't tell if they are really asleep or just dreaming. We had a cat who did that and used to snore so loudly, and she was only 8 pounds at her biggest. It was always worth a smile. It was also an honor to work with you this month. I hope Eileen was checking out all the art. Happy last few hours of April. Hugs-Erika
