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:
