Peonies Journal


I can finally share this Peonies Journal that I made for a friends mum recently. I had great fun with this journal as I just adore peonies myself.


Out came the napkins and the lace,


the vintage paper and the stamps,


a bit of Stickles glitter,

a old botanical painting of a peony from an old diary,


an illustration from a seventies gardening book,


a photo of one of my own peonies,

I had to pop in a small fabric collage, a little bird amongst the flowers,

pink sprayed watercolour paper,

and another fabric collage with vintage buttons.
