Hello everyone- Happy Monday!
Today I'm sharing my latest Art Journal/Calendar page with you. And for my page this month I wanted to created a 'May Flowers' themed project and I used the fun Botanical stencil from American Crafts/Vicki Boutin for my inspiration... I love this stencil!
To start- I created my background using a smooshing technique with acetate, Cracked Pistachio & Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide inks. One dry, I stenciled my flowers in Cracked Pistachio ink and then using Altenew snowing stamp I stamped the snow/dots in Abandoned Coral ink. I cut 3 different sizes of circles for the flowers and trimmed them so they would resemble the stenciled flowers. I think they turned out pretty good but the leaves didn't look right placed under the flowers so I glued them under the black centers :)
Well, that's all for today... thanks so much for stopping by!
Take care, Tammy

Using a circle die to make your own flowers is such a great idea, one I might want to borrow in the future. Love the look, kind of 70s style. Cool!
I can see what you love this stenciled. And I really love those flowers you die cut. I have them and they are very fun. And you used such great May colors. Thanks for sharing your art with us at Art Journal Journey. Hugs-Erika

Oh how clever to create an AJ with the calendar!! I love the way you've transitioned the colors in the background here and added your circle/dot theme to the over all design! Thanks for sharing your inspiration!
Fab stenciling, Tammy. Love the mix of stencils/stamps and colors. The leaves in the middle of the flowers is super fun!!! Great journaling page. Hugz
Love this fabulous explosion of May flowers, Tammy! So bright and beautiful!!
Fabulous design! I adore the creamy citrus hues here. They have an ice cream-esque quality to them, IMO. What a cheerful, terrific calendar page for this bright and beautiful month.
