Craft Barn Q&L: Flowers and/or Travel

Its amazing how quickly time flies.  Can you believe we are at the 6th quotes & lyrics challenge for the year already.   Check out the latest challenge and gorgeous entries HERE.

I've stepped away from my affirmation cards this time round, I fancied doing something just for fun and while I pondered I was listening to a Sandi Thom album. My choice:

"I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair!" 


I went totally OTT with the flowers!!  The background is my usual collaged papers, gesso and chalk pastels, this time in a soft lime. Flowers: dictionary pages where painted with watercolour (hot pinks, red, organe and yellow) and I used some old punches in various sizes.  The face is a stamp I purchased from etsy many moons ago, stamped onto tissue, adhered used matte medium and highlighted with my trusty chalks.  

Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave me a message for the last challenge.  
I really appreciate it.

Thanks for looking
Lou x

    What a fabulous head of hair. It reminds me of the old swimming caps we used to wear.

    I'm especially fond of dictionary pages, and your flowers fit the bill perfectly. You did a great job with this page. Love your stamped lady, too.

    It's indeed a fun composition! It reminds me of those 50's (or is it 60's?) swimming caps women used to sport...
