Graphic 45 (Garden Goddess) Layout ~ FotoBella DT

     Hello again! I'm back with a layout featuring the Graphic 45 (Garden Goddess) I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella.com.

     I took my corner punches out for this page, using the Graphic 45 (Garden Goddess) 12 X 12 Collection and the (Garden Goddess) 12 X 12 Patterns and Solids Pad. Then I used my Blending Tool to ink the edges with Distress Inks (Worn Lipstick and Mowed Lawn), also used on the Ephemera cards. I fussy-cut part of the flower on one of them, overlapping this old photo of myself when I was fourteen, on vacation in Hawaii. So please ignore the acid washed jeans. Lol!

     Then I used permanent inks to stamp all of the flowers and leaves with the Basic Grey Enjoy the Journey Stamp. I also smooshed Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick) on some of the flowers, spritzed them all with water, and scrunched them up for dimension. 

     The canopy of leaves on top, was stamped with Memento (Cottage Ivy) ink. 

     Finally, I added some border strips from the Graphic 45 (Garden Goddess) Stickers, and bamboo for some tropical flair. 

     Thanks for your visit, and get the gorgeous Graphic 45 (Garden Goddess) I Want It All Bundle at FotoBella.com.

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.
