Hi everyone, our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is so blooming' good - we would like to see your 'Summer Blooms'. They can be in a garden or in a vase, single blooms or a whole bunch of them, please just come along and show us.
The Design Team have picked lots to show you, please take a look here.
I have made a journal page with some memories of having sunflower growing competitions with my brother.
I love seeing the fields of sunflowers in France too!
I used watercolour paint to create a sky and field and did some second generation stamping of groups of sunflowers. I then used individual stamps on top which I coloured with Albrecht Durer aquarelle pencils and a water brush.
The Tim Holtz paper dolls were just the right size to fit by the sunflowers.
I wish I could tell you who made these stamps but sadly they have been parted from their packaging.
I have some sunflowers in a vase at the moment
I think they still looked beautiful but they were beginning to drop petals.
I hope you will join us at TIOT this time with your own'Summer Blooms'
I am also linking to my 'When We Were Young' theme at Art Journal Journey'
Thanks for looking, Chris

ReplyDeleteGorgeous journal page, and sunflowers are alwas beautiful, even more so when they get old and gnarled! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers too Chris. What a cool page. I tried to grow some giant sunflowers this year, only to have chipmunks eat the seeds. And the one plant that was growing then was bit off by a woodchuck. Next year I am going to take the piece off your page and try them in pots. LOving your page with those sunflowers and nice use of TH people too. hugs-Erika
