Night Garden and Paper Artsy Challenge - Circles

For the Paper Artsy challenge I decided to continue my work on the garden at night and do a page in my sketchbook using circles as the starting point.  

    

I was inspired by the beautiful box decorated by Julie Ann Lee, who used text within circles.  I used Paynes grey and metallic gold acryllic paint with black texture paste and rubber stamping.  The flower image is cut from an old Royal Horticultural Society diary that I couldn't bear to throw away as I knew I'd use the beautiful flowers one day!

  5. Another stunning piece, Diana! A lovely way to use the calendar flowers and I love circles too! Your garden continues to be a source of great inspiration, doesn't it. One day you should put all your garden pieces together in book form!
