Here & Now

Hey there and good morning! Today it's my turn on the Paper Issues blog. I am sharing a project for the May Flowers challenge. You'd think this would be easy right? Wrong! Too many choices! Do I use photos of flowers? A cut file? Flower embellishments? Ot should I just make it easy and use floral paper?  See what I'm talking about?!?! Well, I couldn't decide, so I just used a lot of flowers!

I started with my photos of our recent visit to the tulip fields. So, boom. Flowers. They are so pretty. How do I want to highlight them on my page? Well, how about Cocoa Vanilla Happiness? The colors are bold vibrant and there are gorgeous flowers throughout this collection. I started by fussy cutting the flower wreath from the So Fresh  paper. Then I cut it apart before gluing it down. Gah! Yes. I did! The rest was easy after this. I just stuck a few stickers and ephemera around the photos and it was pretty much done. Oh, but I should tell you. One go my favorite new products right now are the Vicki Boutin Watercolor markers. I used them to create all the splatters. They are so much fun! Well, there you have it. May flowers. I made it way harder then it needed to be! 

I love our annual visits to see the tulips. The colors are amazing. Really, just seeing so many flowers in one place is truly spectacular. This year, I paid attention to the color. It was a mostly gray day. Maybe that's why they stood out to me so much.
