Flower Cluster Art Journal Page

 Hi Everybody,

Hope all are doing well and keeping sane in these tough times. Today I have a soft and serene looking layout page from my art journal for you. Here it is!

Here is how I went about doing this layout

• I prepped the base with clear gesso and then did a light wash of watercolors and let it dry.
• I then took a stampset of flowers and framed the layout with flowers on the borders
• I stamped a single rose in the center and stamped my focal point sentiment from a Kaisercraft stampset. 
• I colored in the focal point stamped image using watercolor pencils so that it stands out from the rest of the flowers on the border.
• Finished the page with a few gem drops.

Do let me know how you like it and how it has turned out. Your comments are what motivates me to keep making these!

Tutorial:
First I stamped the light bulb image and Sentiment using Archival ink and HOTP stampset. I drew a coluple of lines to mark off the portion where i wanted to do the masking.

Then I created a banner at the end of the card using some washi strips.
