Same but different


 Hi There! Ever since Bev and Sam brought out the full colour and Greyscale catalyst cards, I've been meaning to have a go at something like this journal spread. Here's what I did.
I began by putting the same design of paper on opposite pages of my journal, one in greyscale and one in full colour. 

Once this was stuck to the page, I added some black soot distress oxide through a D'inkable in the same place on each side.
On a separate piece of card I stamped the Doodle Art gerbera and two butterflies, cutting the gerbera in half. I coloured in one pair with ecoline pens to match the background.
Just inking the centre of the butterfly I added the antennae and body to the pages, making sure there was enough room for the wings to lay flat.
I added the coloured flower and butterfly to the greyscale page and the white to the colour page. I also stamped the worker stamp a couple of times on each page in opposite corners.
I used white gel pen to add highlights to the coloured butterfly and flower....
and gelly roll moonlight florescent pens to add to the white butterfly and flower. 
Finally I added wordy stickers to both pages.
Here's another look at the finished pages. 
I used:
Dinkable from Set 3
Wordy stickers (I used 2B)
Versafine Clair black ink
Ecoline brush pens

  1. I love the hot colour palette with th addition of a bit of green Sally, and a good contrast with the background grey tones on the righthand page of this lovely journal layout, and the blousy gerberas and pretty butterflies are perfect, and the sentiment stickers are a great finishing touch. x
