the 'umble ifferous


It fascinates me how there are some images that lots of people love (and some that lots of people love and others hate!), one of which is definitely umbelifferous plants!


For some reason though I can never remember the word 'umbelifferous', and frequently ask Sue 'what's that word for those flowers?'!!!  So I decided a journal page was in order; the blog title is courtesy of Sue after a conversation at Port Sunlight :)


This is started off as another page I didn't feel was very 'me' in my journal.  It got very bright so after a brief panic I stippled white paint through Tim's  Alpha Parts - numeric and am now really pleased with it.  I printed 'umbelifferous' on the computer and over typed it on a typewriter - which was weird after typing on computer keyboards for so many years!

  5. Beautiful colours and detail Sarah. I love that stamp and your white brings it all together brilliantly. Umbelliferous is a lovely word to play with on your tongue and I'm hoping your gorgeous pages will help me remember it too LOL Gay x

  8. Such lovely pages, Sarah. I had to look up "umbelliferous"! I've never heard that word before, but I love Queen Anne's Lace flowers. They're one of my favories! xoxo
