Being ARTastic ...

ARTastic have a beautiful painting for inspiration this month. It's Almond Blossom by Vincent Van Gogh.  I just adore the vivid blue in this painting and the little details in the flowers.  Just gorgeous.

The extra criteria for this challenge was to use a blue background, white flowers and a brown or white title.


My layout this month is quite detailed as well.  It has lots of little flowers and pieces of lace, buttons, pearl brads and other little touches.  I've used a partial sheet of vivid blue paper cut as a circle circle for the background as well as cutting blue and white flowers from another sheet.  I've inked the clear acrylic title in brown to form the title.
