Fragrance of Flowers

https://art-journal-journey.blogspot.com/
The current theme at Art Journal Journey is Flowers chosen by Mia, and who doesn't love flowers.

I stamped the Fritillary onto a roughly gessoed page and added Distress spray inks in Chipped Sapphire and Victorian Velvet and moved them round with a damp tissue, some stencilling in Faded Jeans and Vic Velvet along with some background stamping with Watering Can Archival, before adding some hand drawn doodling.  The sentiment is a favourite from PaperArtsy.

Thanks for calling in,
Avril xx

I was blown away by both the background and the flower you chose for this entry. Even the colors you chose were great and the frame you created with your doodles was the icing on the journal page. Thanks for sharing this with us using Mia's theme at Art Journal Journey, dear Avril.
