Sending you (all) flowers at Try It On Tuesday!

The brand new challenge at Try It On Tuesday is Sending You Flowers and I must say, if I could I would, from my new followers(welcome!), to some of you lovely folk who have stuck by me(and encouraged me to start my blog) and to all the great people in between who have left me such encouraging comments even when I wasn't sure I should have posted!!!
My team mates have pulled out all the stops with their samples and I do hope you will pop over and have a look!
I have made a journal page for you.

 The page had stayed around in my journal for months looking like this…

…now you know why!!

I used gesso, crackle paste through a stencil, a thin coat of very watered down DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics(Burnt Umber) over the page and rubbed in some DecoArt Media Antiquing cream(Red Oxide) into the crackle.

I stuck on a little bit of ripped baby wipe that had been used to mop up from another project I also added a little bit of random text stamping

The flowers were a mixture of some I have had for a while , coloured with Neo colour IIs and layered with some leaves and part of a paper place setting that I rescued from a cafe in Austria!!!  The butterfly I think may have been a magazine freebie!
The words are from Paper Artsy and I had them in mind along with the clock so that I could also join in with Art Journal Journey!
It also means that no time was wasted on my up to now useless page!!

I do hope you will find time to join the Try It On Tuesday challenge, we like to see all kinds of crafting and the details are here!

Thanks for looking, Chris
