Try it on Tuesday - Summer Blooms

 Good morning all and Happy July!

It is the month where the flowers bloom, and what better way to celebrate this is with this challenge 

at Try it on Tuesday 

"Summer Blooms"


For this art journal page, I cut out some flower paper, applied a thin layer of white gesso over it to tone it down, then drew a summer blossom and painted it and added some shading. I added my favourite little girl and a summery quote and voila! 

I do hope you will join us for this summer challenge!
