May 2011 Art Journal Page - Journey

Journey

I had previously made these flowers with real buttons in the middle.  They were a bit bulky for the album I keep my Art Journal pages in so I made some more with the same papers but made the fake buttons out of paper.  Must admit that the real button flowers look much better but this will have to do. 

I wanted the flowers to look like I had sewn the edges with black thread but was way too lazy to get out my sewing machine.  Instead I drew the lines with a black gel pen and like the way it turned out.  I'm quite happy with this page.  I like the way the background colour turned out :)
