More Flowers

I Love Flowers

While walking around the block with my dog, I noticed some beautiful flowers. I just had to go back and photograph them. I have no clue what type they are, but here's the photos.

Paste Paper #3

This is the last one I made. It's definitely different. I think they will all make good backgrounds for something, although I'm not sure what. Any ideas??? Thanks for taking a look.

Paste Paper #2

I'm not sure what happened in the upper right corner of this one, but I think the rest is salvageable.

Paste Paper Play

I got together with 2 friends, and we experimented a bit with paste papers. This was my first try, so I was pretty excited. The paste was made from just white flour and water. For color we added Golden fluid acrylics, and we painted on Arches Text Wove Water Color paper. While they were drying at my friends house, on the floor, her 2 little dogs decided to investigate and walked on some of the papers. So if you look closely enough, you will see an authentic little paw print on the above paper. lol. I actually like that little print. It makes me smile.

Birthday Card

Over the weekend, I made this card for a friend. I used the Cuttlebug "D'Vinne Swirl" Folder for the background then layered plain cardstock on top, and I wrote "Happy Birthday" with a variation of Pointed Pen Calligraphy. I stippled ink around the corners of the plain cardstock and wrapped the corners with glittery silver ribbon. I hope she likes it.
