Flowers in My Bible

 Hello friends.

Yesterday, I visited Erika's blog and was inspired by her very cool flowery journal page.  I haven't done any bible art journaling in awhile and haven't participated yet in Aimeslee's flower theme at *Art*Journal*Journey**, so I got out my DaySpring Illusrating Bible and did two pages. 

I have been watching lots of  YouTube videos on sunflowers (my daugher's favorite flower) and quickly drew and painted the sunflower on this first page.  I was too lazy to get the gesso so I painted the flwoer with very little water to limit the bleed through.  I added distress ink and doodling around the border and splattered on some paint too.  The center is gold Stickles and black marker. 

On this page I drew the path with  straight edge and then blobbled on watercolor with an old brush.  I added in details and doodling with a black journaling marker and added in lot of Stickles.  Ignore the stars, they are loose and not part of the page - I just forgot they were there. 
Proverbs 4 is so full of great advice.  I wish I had listened more in my life to it. It's never too late though - that is the beauty.  It felt great to be journaling again.

    These are both wonderful pages Nancy. You can not go wrong with sunflowers at all. I love the gold stickles. You can't go wrong adding stickles either. Smile. And I like the straight path too. it looks like it would be a lovely walk, and works perfect with your Bible passage. Have a wonderful new week, and thanks for joining us at AJJ for Aimeslee's challenge. I'm glad you were able to join in. Hugs-Erika
