Are You Ready for 13 Goddesses Challenge? My Cover

Helloooo!!
I have been busy this week working on 3 projects! Pant... pant...
That time of the year that I like less (Summer!Hot Summer!) is slowly approaching and I need to distract myself.
I will tell you about my other projects next week.

Today I'm going to show you the cover I have made for 


I took some photos of the process.

I started by creating my journal from scratch (I want to keep all my Goddesses together).
I used Fabriano Academia drawing and Watercolor paper.
The sheets are large, so I folded them in two.

I made 3 holes and tied all pages together.

With an old credit card I smeared some acrylic colors on the covers. 
I used Purple, Pink and Light Green.

Let the fun begin!!
I cut some pics from a vintage book and glued them to the covers.
(The face and the flower are two separate elements)

I then covered the face and flower with white acrylic.
Once dry I worked on the image with Neocolor Watersoluble Pastels and Charcoal Pencil,
and completed the cover with Black and White Uniposcas.
I'm not very happy with lettering, but I know this is not one of my best skills. Hehehehe!!
(I'll show you the back cover at the end of this journey!)

Now I am ready to start my first Goddess!!
