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 😂
