Art Journal with Graphic 45 Garden Goddess ~ FotoBella DT

     Hello! I'm back with an art journal spread using the gorgeous Graphic 45 Garden Goddess I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella.com.

     Whenever I get a new bundle to play with, I usually do what inspires me the most. With this collection I was immediately drawn to the goddess in the clock, and knew I had to create a magical place for her and all of the other goddesses that I fussy-cut from the Garden Goddess 12 X 12 Collection Pack.

     I started by gluing torn pieces from an old dictionary onto my journal pages, and covered it with Prima Marketing White Gesso. Then I applied more gesso to the Tim Holtz Nordic Mini Stencil. Once it dried, I spritzed it with a few sprays, including Distress Spray Stain (Fossilized Amber) which is a perfect match to the sunflowers.

     Here's a closer look at the stencil work and another goddess.

     To create vines, I added some green fibers from my stash, and stamped the leaves with Distress Inks (Peeled Paint, Pine Needle, and Forest Moss) onto half of a sheet of paper from the Garden Goddess 12 X 12 Patterns and Solids Pad, using both sides. Then I used another half sheet to cut the flowers with my Cricut Expression. After inking the edges with Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick), I spritzed them with water, and scrunched them up, adding FotoBella Pearls to the centers.

     Finally, I added some Chipboard for the title, along with a couple of small circles added to the clock, and on the left page.

   
     Thanks for stopping by, and get the Graphic 45 Garden Goddess Bundle at FotoBella.com!
