The Hills Are Alive with the Sound Of Music (ColourArte - Texture challenge)

This is my finished journal page for the ColourArt Challenge "Texture"

I started off with flower and leaf cut outs from thin butcher paper.  Left page has been covered in Gesso and the right page is before Gesso.

I then did the background with Twinkling H2O's, left over screen two thicknesses, stamps and the word stamp I won (Thank you again Terri) from Indigo Blu "Script - A6, and some flowers ferns and mushrooms.  The ferns and mushrooms I wiped off because I used an old color box stamp pad that had turned to mush so when it wouldn't dry even with heat gun I wiped it off with baby wipes.  It took off more than just the ferns.  After it dried I added a line of washi tape with musical notes on it.

I colored what flowers remained with Silks Wisteria and snapdragon, the leaves are Fern and Pretty peridou.

The Sun, grass and big pink gerber Daisy are all cut from milk cartons, sanded gessoed then painted with H20's and silks.  The lilacs are texture paste with Snapdragon silks and a tiny bit of white acrylic paint to lighten it more.  The redish flowers and ladybugs  are spiced pumpkin silks.  The small butterflies and hummingbird  are stamped on cardstock and mounted on white peel and press fun foam and the flowers on the grass are ones I've had for long time

This picture is not part of the challenge, I incorporate some stamps and embellishments for my family.  There will always been a hummingbird for my mom, a butterfly for my sister Tammi (both my guardian angels now), a heart of my niece Breanna, a Giraffe for my niece Cheyenne Tammi's two daughters, a dragonfly for my niece Crystal, a teddy bear for my two grandnephews and A ladybug for me.  Same I hide while doing the project others are easy to see.  I'll be adding a swan for my sister-in-Law Judy, a Lighthouse for my brother, a Polar Bear for my Nephew Kade and a horse for my Nephew Neal's family. (just have to find small enough stamps)

I apologize for the sideways picture, on my laptop they are turned the correct way I'm still trying to find a way to rotate them.
