The month of May, and I'm actually not thát late!!

I had absolutely no inspiration for the month of May, so I decided to pick the least likely colours for the background; I used Naples Yellow Light, Naples Yellow deep and Azo Yellow Medium acrylic paint by Amsterdam..
At the bottom I stamped with an Indigo Blue stamp and green permanent ink. The 'day' flowers were made by making a stencil with the Tim Holtz tattered floral die and a sheet of transparant film. I sponged through the stencil with Golden Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold. I went around all the flowers with a Yellow Faber Castel Big Brush Pitt pen.
At the sides I used a TCW stencil and sponged ferns with several green colours acrylic paint. I stamped some dragonflies in the background with a brown Stazon ink and used a pearlescent acrylic medium for the wings. Last but not least I used the dark green permanent ink around the spread to 'frame' the spread.
Hope you like my month of May, considering I started with a blank, it didn't turn out too bad, though I must say I made better pages LOL! Hugs Frea
