My Artistic Adventures Challenge #5

It's time for a new challenge over at 

My Artistic Adventures! 

Our theme is

BITS OF GREEN

Create any NEW tangible item, Card, tag, ATC, Layout, altered art piece, Banner, pretty much anything you can come up with that is tangible using some of my digital images (or others).

(Sorry no digital entries)

Here is a look at what I created.....

I haven't altered a notebook/journal for some time now so I thought I would now.

I started with a couple of papers from the

Vintage Spring Green collection 

I love the shades of green in this collection!

I used polka dots for the front of the book and gingham for the back.

I put a green ribbon, 

that has a bit of lace on it as well, 

on the spine

and 

wrapped another ribbon around to use as a tie closure for the journal.

You can see the ribbon on the spine a bit better on these two photos.

I added the scrap of green corrugated paper over the ribbon to help keep it in place.

Then started layering bits and pieces...

The quote image is from Gecko Galz 

Beautiful Words Digital Collage sheet.

That is on pop dots.

I used some scrap lace trim and fiber trim to tuck under the image.

A little string of pearls across the top of the corrugated piece.

Then finished off with a bunch of flowers that I've kinda been hoarding...

mostly because they are green and I don't use green much!

The larger flower has a pearl button center 

and the 2 medium sized flowers have a couple of pink brads to bring in the pink from the image

and 

the 3 bitty flowers were just 4 or 5 each of the little flowers bunched and glued together to form a few little buds. 

I tucked a few white little leaves and a couple little stamen bits underneath to finish off my piece.

I hope you will join us for this challenge...

show us your green!

I can't wait to see what you create!
