You Can Grow Flowers


Work in my journal continues, too, but sometimes at a pretty slow pace.  These pages are unique because the background is a skin of acrylic paint.  The skins were created by applying acrylic paint to a sheet protector, letting it dry and then peeling it off and adhereing it to the journal page.  (Traci Baustista technique).  In this case the left-hand page is on black paper and the right-hand is on white.  The text was computer generated and embellished with marker.  The borders are hand-drawn, flowers and butterfly are stamped and cut out.  I added some cotton thread to three triangular buttons that I found in my stash and added them for dimension.  Why am I thinking Mardi Gras?  Just needs some strings of beads.
