Flowers of the Valley

Last page from Tasiilaq, and this one has some of the flowers from the Flower Valley. The valley is named for the abundance of flowers there, but this is only an abundance when compared to the rest of Greenland. The plants are mostly small, low-lying clumps but they are perfectly suited to the short summers and long frozen winters there.

I printed four photos of the different flowers and picked the first of this month's sketches from Sketch-n-Scrap. The original has three photos in two sizes, but the switch was an easy one to make. 

All the pages in this album are on plain kraft cardstock so I added an extra layer of patterned paper behind the photos for interest. I wanted that layer to be a soft print that would work with the bold stripe, and I didn't have one in my kit so I dug out through my stash finding an old Christmas paper from Basic Grey which has the right colours. I'll keep the offcuts with my kit and spread the new pattern in small pieces throughout the album.
