Hi, There!
I love sunflowers - such a happy flower just like Gerber Daisies!!! So I added my fave flowers with the butterflies (that I love) and I have a very happy art journal mixed media page!! Hope you like it as I had a lot of fun creating this page. Till next time, hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

Art Journal Page Recipe:
Background was done with Dylusions Inks (teal/lemon/orange) added to a gelli plate and applied to both pages. Used a stencil with more color directly to gelli plate and applied another coat to pages. Used text stamp in background and the sentiment is from Flourishes. Then I stamped and die cut the sunflowers, vase, and butterflies - all from Stampendous Stamps and Die Cuts. Colored with distress inks. Once they were fussy cut, I added them to the pages with gel medium so I could shade with Pitt India ink brush pens. White gel pen for hi-lights, stardust, and liquid pearl. I drew the border with Heavy Gesso Black and heavy gesso white. Gloss for dew drops.
