This piece began as the flowering “weed” plant. It reminds me of some of those purple flowers you occasionally find on your lawn. I drew it with micron pens. I colored it using gel pens. I cut the flower out and attached it to a page in my art journal. I painted the background with acrylic paint. I stained the ribbons with distress stain after I wrote the poem and attached it to the a tag. I stained the tag with distress inks. After I designed the tag, I embellished it with the green and brown ribbon and silver leaf tag.

I love this piece because I played a little with a few different techniques and it was one of my first art journal pages. I loved it so much I had to make a print of it. This may have also been one of the first hybrids pieces I created where my words and art mingled. This piece is available in my shop.
