More Art Journal: Hand-painted flowers

This is really more of a scrapbook page, but I decided to include it in my art journal. I painted the flowers with acrylic paints on grey paper. Then cut them out, stamped all over the page, punched out the little red flowers and stamped them, then covered the whole page with Mod Podge to protect it. These are the flowers that turned out. Most of them were awful!!

Hand-painted background and a simple card

I hand-painted the background using acrylic paints on white card stock. Just dip a foam brush in the paint and lightly draw it across the card stock alternating colors. The flowers are stamped with versamark ink, then embossed with fine white embossing powder. The center is made from two circles. I sliced the edges off to create the straight edges.

A great way to use up scraps.
