One of my favorite parts of summer is the flowers. Whether its taking a walk through a forest preserve and seeing all the wild flowers, seeing someone's personal garden or visiting the Chicago Botanic Garden. The expanse of flowers in nature is breath-taking. For this layout, since there is sort of a red white and blue theme and the Fourth of July is coming, I thought it would be nice to highlight some of the red, white and blue flowers I have seen. The baby's breath was seen in a forest preserve, and the roses and roses and hydrangea where seen at a city park.
For this challenge, I used all 5 colors.
For evidence, I used wood background and wood accents (wood butterfly, wood word "lovely"),
trees and foliage, enamel dots (on tree) and netting
Journaled about the outdoors: "Summer is a season lit by plentiful flowers. Roses, Baby's Breath and
Hydrangea: Summer's beauty is all around."
For this layout, I used a wood paper background and then added some paint and ink splatters.
Colored some white rose flowers blue with paint and red with ink.
Printed and cut out digital stamps of leaves, and painted them with a green paint.
Inked some larger white flowers with blue and red ink.
Used some netting and red burlap in the background for some added texture.
