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

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:

Thanks for looking! 

Collage

Hi There! I am here with some inspiration for the June Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook Challenge today, where the theme is Collage. 
 

I began by tearing and sticking scraps of Catalyst cards over a 4x4" panel of mixed media card. 

Using a tag inkable I added a little Black Soot Distress oxide

I also added a little Peony Blush Dylusions paint. 

On a separate piece of card I stamped, coloured and cut out the larger daisy from the sketchy flowers set.

I added this to the background using matte medium along with some wordy stickers. 

Here is the finished panel again. This could be stuck into a journal, added to a 5x5" card or made into a coaster. 

I used:

A selection of catalyst cards

Matte Medium

Tag inkable from set 3

Sketchy Flowers Stamp set

Wordy stickers - I used set 3
