Graphic 45 (Flutter) Art Journal ~ FotoBella DT

     Hello! Today I have an art journal page featuring the gorgeous Graphic 45 (Flutter) I REALLY Want It All Bundle, that I combined with my Dyan Reaveley's Dylusion's Paints from FotoBella.com. 

      I started by tearing papers from the (Flutter) 8" X 8" Pad, since I worked in my smaller art journal, which measures 7" X 10". Then I cut the strip and title, and inked the edges with Distress Ink (Black Soot).

     The small Ephemera card with the bee, was also inked before adding some Chipboard.

     Then I applied Prima Marketing Gesso (Black) to a stencil along the top and bottom left. 

     After cutting the butterfly from the Flutter 12 X 12 Collection Pack, came the fun part! Dylusion's Paints (Bubblegum Pink, Vibrant Turquoise, Cut Grass, Fresh Lime, Lemon Zest, Crushed Grape, and White Linen) slightly watered down, and applied with a brush and some sprays of water.

     Thanks for looking, and pick up the Graphic 45 (Flutter) I REALLY Want It All Bundle at FotoBella.com.

Graphic 45 (Flutter) 2 Page Layout ~ FotoBella DT

     Flowers, bugs, butterflies, and bright colors mix beautifully, in the new Graphic 45 (Flutter) I REALLY Want It All Bundle from FotoBella.com! So I made a two page layout, showcasing this gorgeous collection that will leave you yearning for Spring. 

     I was instantly inspired by this fabulous sketch by Noreen Smith, and knew the butterflies would make great replacements for the hearts. 

     To replicate the fence in the photos, I applied Prima Marketing Gesso (White) to a wood grain stencil, onto both sheets of Bazzill Cardstock (Quicksand) from the Flutter Coordinating Cardstock. Then I spritzed it with Distress Spray Stain (Hickory Smoke) and Kaisermist Spray (Coffee), followed by Dylusions Paint (Slate Grey) that I just rubbed on with my fingers. 

     The neutral colors make a great backdrop to the colorful butterflies that I fussy-cut from the Flutter 12 X 12 Paper Pack. 

     I used a larger Ephemera card for my title, and inked the edges along with the patterned banner pieces, with Distress Ink (Black Soot).

     All of the banner pieces were machine-stitched with a crisp, white thread.

     To make the Sticker borders fit onto both pages, I cut and pieced them to look like one continuous line behind the photos, using a ruler as a guide.

     Thanks for stopping by, and get the Graphic 45 (Flutter) I REALLY Want It All Bundle at FotoBella.com!
