Summer is colourful


Can you imagine a summer without colour?..........I can't
What if  the summer  flowers we love had no colour at all...
I think colour can brighten anyone's day, don't you.
This is a hybrid, mixed media page for


great theme is Summer Love.


On the left is how this page began. The first layers are a colourful background , a layer of checked tissue in the top corner. A fussy cut lady from the same paper stack..
Some Washie tape and scraps of a printed ribbon.
 I used some Jane Davenport items I purchased on holiday.
 However this didn't stop me from altering it in my digital program  as you can see in  my first photo.




Thank you for stopping by, I  hope you are loving  summer like  I am..

  10. Stunning use of tissues and washi tape. It's truly lovely and colorful, too. What started as a lovely piece (I'm in awe of the fussy cut woman) turned into a masterpiece. I really fell in love with the question you posed about colorless flowers. It got me thinking how bright and powerful this piece really is. Thanks for sharing it on Art Journal Journey. I loved it.
