More Beautiful Catalyst Collage papers

 

Hi There! I am here with another piece of inspiration using the gorgeous new Catalyst collage papers from Bee Crafty. Here is how this journal spread came together. 

I began by dry brushing some stripes of Dylusions paint across a double page in my 5" square sketchbook. I used Pure Sunshine and Peony Blush. 

Next I used one of the papers from the A5 set called Painted Gaze, Cutting it to fit the Left hand page, but tearing the right hand edge. From the remaining sheet, I tore two strips, adding these to the right hand page over the paint. These were all attached using Matte Medium. 

I added a little Blueprint Sketch ink on the right hand page through a Dinkable from set 11

To tie in with the left hand page I also added some more collage - Book page strips this time. 

I stamped Be You from the Incredible Words stamp set on to stamping Tissue. 

I found 4 flowers made using the Doodle Art Blooming Blooms stamp set in my stash that matched the colours perfectly.

I added these elements to the right hand page using Matte Medium and then stamped a couple of the worker stamps from the same set in a few spaces on both sides using black Versafine Clair ink. I am still trying to pluck up the courage to add a handwritten word to this. Either Unapologetically or Authentically... worried about spoiling it though 😂

I used:

Catalyst Collage papers - Painted Gaze A5

Dinkables set 11

Blooming Blooms stamp set

Incredible words stamp set

Stamping Tissue

Black versafine Clair ink

Dylusions paint in Peony Blush and Pure Sunshine

Pens/ Pencils to colour the flowers

Distress Oxide ink in Blueprint sketch (although Salty Ocean might have been a better match!) 

Matte Medium

Small journal/ sketchbook

I hope I have inspired you to have a go at the current challenge in our Bee Crafty Stamps facebook Group where the theme is Collage.

Be the Rainbow Journal spread

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you what I have done with one of the brand new Catalyst Collage papers from Bee Crafty that were launched yesterday on Try it out Tuesday! 

I began by covering a double page in White gesso in my Dina Wakley Kraft media journal (10"x 7.25" pages).

Next, I took one of the pages from Rainbow Thoughts A4 Collage papers and tore around 3 sides. The design was a little bit larger than the page so I cut around the flower petals at the bottom and added it to the pages using Matte Medium. 

 I used Dylusions paint in Pure Sunshine, Blue Lagoon, Laidback Lilac and Peony Blush and dry brushed vertical and horizontal strokes around the pages. 

Once it was dry, I added some texture paste through a dinkable from set 13.

Using another dinkable from set 3, I added splatter dots using Distress oxide inks in Uncharted Mariner and Villainous Potion.

I used the Art Stamp Leaves to stamp around the page using the two colours already mentioned along with Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink. 

Finally, I selected the Sentiment from Transparency Print Creative Words and added using Matte Medium.  

Here are the finished pages again. 

I used:

A Quick and Simple card

 

Hi There! I am here with a very simple card this morning. 

I began by stamping a curvy line of the small flower across the page in 4 shades of versafine clair inks

Next I used the freehand border stamp to add some pink lines below the line of flowers. 

I stamped the sentiment in Hawthorn Rose ink in the top white section and sponged a little ink around the panel. I also added gold centres to the flowers using a gelly roll pen

Finally I attached the panel to the front of a 6x4" white card blank. 

I used:

Emboss Resist

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you some emboss resist for some more pastel inspiration for this month's challenge over on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group. 

I began by stamping a 4" square of white card with the freehand borders using Versamark ink. I sprinkled with Clear embossing powder and heated. 

Next I used various patel shades of distress oxide inks to blend over the embossing. 

Once I was happy with the colours, I gave a light spritz with water and also with Distress Spritz in Fossilized Amber.

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the sketchy flower in Sand Dune ink and coloured using pastel coloured pencils. 

On another scrap of white card, I stamped the sentiment using lilac bloom ink and trimmed it to size.

Using 3d foam pads, I attached the background, the flower and the sentiment to the front of the 5x5" card.

Finally, here is a close up of the sparkly background showing the shimmer.

I used:

Freehand Borders #1

Versamark/ embossing ink

Clear embossing powder

Distress oxide inks - I used tumbled glass, twisted citron, dried marigold, shaded lilac and spun sugar.

A Little Hope Journal Spread

 

Hi There! I've moved away from pastel colours this week and I have a journal page for you. 

I began by smooshing Mustard Seed Distress Oxide onto a double page in my 5x5 notebook. 

When this was dry, I drew a rough circle in Salty Ocean Distress crayon on the right hand page. I brushed over this with a damp brush to blend it a little. 

Using Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink, I added some dots using a dinkable. 

I used the same colours of ink to add stamping using Journal Art Elements 3, randomly around the page. 

Next I used the 4" circle easy frame to add a pink circle using a paint marker....

and also a white circle slightly offset.

On a small piece of vellum/ parchment paper, I stamped and heat embossed the Doodle Art Butterfly in white, and cut it out. 

Then I splattered the page using distress Spritz in Picked Raspberry. 

I added the butterfly to the page using matte medium.

I felt it still needed a few white and pink pen dots here and there, so I added some in. 

Finally, I added a wordy sticker sentiment. 

Here are the finished pages once more.

I used:

Journal art Elements 3 stamp set

Doodle Art Butterfly stamp set

Dinkables set #2

4" Circle easy Frame inkable

Wordy Stickers 3

Distress Oxide inks - I used Salty Ocean, Mustard seed and Picked Raspberry

Distress crayon - I used salty ocean

Posca Pens or paint markers
