You are Strong Journal Spread

 

Hi There! I thought I would share a journal spread using the A5 Catalyst Collage papers today. Here's how it came together. 

I began by tearing the paper from the A5 Painted Gaze set to fit on my 5x5" journal page.

Next, I sponged Distress oxide inks in Wild Honey and Antique Linen across both pages. 

Using Picked Raspberry and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink, I  stamped some of the Journal Art Elements 3 circles around the page. 

I also added some ink blended circles using a dinkable and the same pink ink. 

Now this background was prepared I added the collage paper to it using matte medium. 

The edges needed to be disguised a little so I added more stamping using the Journal Art Elements 3 and the Doodle Art Blooming blooms stamp sets. 

Once I was happy with the extra stamping, I used the Incredible Words stamp set to add some words in versafine Clair ink. I knew I had see the ampersand (and sign) somewhere so set about thinking where 😆

On a separate piece of paper, I stamped some of the larger flowers from the blooming blooms set using Versafine Clair ink. I coloured them using coordinating Ecoline pens and a damp paint brush, before cutting them out. 

Finally, I remembered the Ampersand was part of the typewriter Alpha set, and added that to the page along with the extra flowers.
