art journal fuschia flowers

Hi! Today I am back with one more page for my flower art journal. This is my page for the letter F and I used the adorable Fuchsia flowers! I worked on my 6×6 disc bound journal. It has thick watercolor pages perfect for any medium.

You can enjoy the video below or at my YouTube channel

close-up photos

The lovely flowers and leaves are from the Stampendous –  Fuchsia Trio( SBC | SSS ). I stamped everything and colored them with my
Faber-Castell BIG BRUSH Pitt Artist Pens ( SSS ). In the video I demonstrate the technique which I have been using for years and I absolutely love!

For the background I used my new distress oxide sprays in Picked Raspberry( SBC | SSS ) and Spiced Marmalade( SBC | SSS ). I also did some stamping, splashing and stenciling. Many fun techniques that make me happy and they give a great visual texture.

There are lots of details as finishing touches, such as white splashes, highlighting with white marker…

… and even glitter to embellish the flowers. The quote is from the Stampendous – Big Words Happy ( SBC | SSS ) stamp set.

  1. Thanks for sharing that fun fact! Whoever first thought to call them “earrings” was very observant!!! It sounds like something a child would think to say!! I love fushia! And what a great page … again! The colors are vibrant and fun and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your project, Vicky. I’ve been paying close attention to how you create your backgrounds because that’s what I struggle with the most. Enjoy the rest of the week.

  2. This is the 2nd video I have seen of yours. I will be receiving all of them in the future.
    Love your techniques. Beautiful!!

  3. Love your videos and this flower journal. You always have great tips and techniques and you create beautiful designs.

  4. Gorgeous page, I love the fuchsia stamp set and great that the dies don’t leave a white border.
    This serie inspires me so much and everytime I have watch on of your videos I wanted to play with my inks etc. Unfortunately I don’t have always the time to do that.
    Thank you so much for this gorgeous page and have a great weekend.

  5. Beautiful page Vicky! I love, love this series. You inspired me to create my own 12 months of flowers, even though I don’t have the same stamps, I’m using old sets. TFS!
