So if you look at Ashley's card and my journal page, I know your eyebrows raised! How did I get from Ashley's sweet card you would give to a friend to this spooky wreath?
Story:
*I knew I was going to do a wreath
*I wanted to do Fall or Halloween theme
*I remembered I had gathered up the left over old flowers from my parent's grave when we cleaned it up last time.
*The flowers and leaves were dirty and tattered so I brushed them off and spookified them more with some black distress ink, black paint splatters, and gold paint splatters.
*Had to do an art journal page instead of a card so I could fit all the flowers.
Can you find all the spiders? There are supposed to be 5 but I can only find 4.
This journal is chunky and I plan to just close it up and have the flowers be a fun part of it.

I knew immediately which card you had chosen, because I loved it! My jaw did drop Nancy, in awe of your magnificent journal page - and you will have the flowers forever now. Yep, I spotted the spiders x
Nancy, this is a fun case of Ashley's card. I love your spooky floral wreath and the flowers you modified a little with extra ink, etc. I looked for a minute to see how many spiders I could find.

Your inspiration card is one that I pinned. Your 3D wreath blew me away. The colors, feathers, speckles and dark mood is just my style - if ever I took the time to make something this elaborate. I absolutely want it, LOL.

I found 4 spiders for sure and maybe a fifth one but not sure it's a spider..., what a beautiful wreath and I'm sure this was an emotional job too with these flowers from your parent's grave, great recycling
