Jeudi Journal - Include a Flower or Two

No idea who came up with this but it kept me busy all over Christmas.  Yes, I was stamping flowers and cutting them out and colouring them with .... my Polychromos.  Ooh I did enjoy myself. And I could manage to occupy my mind when my back was bad by sitting bolt upright in bed, pressing my back against the pillow and headboard and tucking elbows into my sides then crayoning away.

Think you can see that by the number of flowers and leaves I have included on this spread.


These are all the flowers I coloured with the Polychromos that my BFF had bought me for Christmas. I love them and so enjoyed mixing colours by putting one layer on top of another.  Great shading can be achieved.  The flowers are all from Dyan's Dylusion range and although they look huge there is a bigger flower head on the sheet which I didn't use.


Floribunda is the name of this young maiden.  She is wearing a floral hat and has her name all around her as well as down the side of the page.  Just so you won't forget who she is.  One thing you can forget if you notice, and that is her gloves that are shaped like cat paws. Apparently she has a thing about cats, loves them and likes dressing up as one occasionally.  She also has a thing about flowers and asked for a 'bouquet' - imagine her surprise when she received the flowers to the left of the picture.  Do you think someone took her name too literally?

Off now to see what Wendy has done this week.
