Artful Journeys Week 14 - Doodled Flowers!

Hey y'all, it's Melody again!  Back at the wheel with another prompt!

This week our prompt is really quite simple....Doodled flowers!!  That's right...doodled flowers....use one, use a few, fill the page or just create a border, but doodle them you must!  So let's hop to it, shall we?

Let's start by taking a look at Tamie's spread!  This week Tamie started her page with a layer of Gesso, then grabbed her trusty black BIC pen, and began doodling....Then went back over her doodles with some oil pastels

Then, a stroke of inspiration hit her, and she gave it a few spritzes of Dylusions spray inks....and, voila!

Next is Melody's...and her bright colors are in action as usual....hop on over to her blog here to see her vibrant take on this week's prompt!

Next, we have Lynn's super cute spread....

With a quick layer of Lime Green, Lynn got down to business....she then came back in with some orange and a darker green for her background.  She said, "I actually made the flowers with a Hello Kitty marker,  then came back and  colored over it with a thick white pen which then made the marker grey. The centers and petals of the flowers I colored with red and orange markers.

I then added a flower die cut for the middle and  celebrate on top. For fun I cut some butterflies and made them look like they are flying off the page. Thanks for looking..."

Betty was creative with her doodled flowers this week. You can see the full spread on her blog

We all want to wish each and every one of you a very happy Easter weekend.  Enjoy yourselves, and remember, to keep it artful!

ARTFUL JOURNEYS Week #6 Journal Prompt

Six weeks into the year already.  Valentine's Day is looming ahead.  We hope you are enjoying our 14 Days of Love prompts that will continue through Valentine's Day, but our 52 weekly prompts aren't stopping.  We just want you all to have plenty of ideas, plenty to do and we want to keep you excited about working in your journals and having a lot of fun.  We hope you are learning some new techniques and ways to creatively express yourself.

Our prompt this week:  FAVORITE PET / ANIMAL(s)

Remember that special pet you had when you were a child?  Do you have very special memories of a current pet, or one that has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge?  Are you enamored with a certain species?  Are you into exotics?  Have an unusual pet?  Are you just an animal lover in general?  Then this is a great prompt to share that love and honor the animal(s) of your choosing.

Here are our takes on this subject this week....minus one.  Betty is running behind, but will have something sometime this week to share with you on the group feed.

MELODY ELZY - Dedicated to our late rat terrier, Daisy. The dog and matching flowers are a gelli print I did a while back....the colored flowers are a freebie from Terri Kahrs.

LYNN JACKSON -  This is Trouble Paslay, a frisky and interesting Guinea Pig that belongs to my grandson.  I  got him about a year ago when his first pig went to heaven.  He is a very sweet pet but sure does eat a lot. We hope he is with us for a long time to come.   I used pink acrylic paint and a flower stencil for the background and black stickers for his name.

We hope that you enjoyed looking at our versions of this week's prompt and that you may get some inspiration from what we've created.  Please share your journal page with us in the February Prompt Album over at Artful Journeys.  Add a brief description and your image will automatically post and show up on the group feed.

Keep it artful!!
