Hot July brings cooling showers ..Apricots and gillyflowers.
The restraint is that it must include gillyflowers. Naturally my first thought was WHAT????!!!! Never heard of them. Looked it up and it said wallflower. Once again, huh? I thought a wallflower was someone at a party who didn't get asked to dance...
Ok. So another one was a stout. REALLY? I thought that was a body type or a type of ale.
Finally, I found carnation. Ok. that one I know.
I first put some decoupage paper down. I put gesso on it to push the colors back, I used a stencil and grey paint for the wall. I wanted to put my clear Distress Crackly paint on it, but when I opened the bottle it was completely dried up. So disappointed.
I painted the tree and the ground. I quilled some flowers that I hope look like gillyflowers. I cut paper up to make stems and I stamped a bird in the sky.
Now I can rest a bit until August.

Loving the scene you've created with the wall and flowers. Very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteA great scene and your flowers definitely look like carnations (aka gillyflowers), with the wall as well I think you have completley fulfilled the brief!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty mixed media scene! I guess we've all learned what a gillyflower is this month.
ReplyDeleteI think we all had to make use of Google this month for the definition of gillyflower. You've created a lovely summer scene.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers! Thank you for entering The Craft Barn Twelve Month Challenge xx
