Hi There! Here's a journal spread, as inspiration to both the new challenge on Bee crafty Stamps Facebook group, and this week's Bee Crafty Palette. Here's how I put it together.
I began by blending patches of distress oxide inks around the page. I used Chipped Sapphire, Rustic Wilderness, Saltwater Taffy, Bundled sage and Old Paper.
Next, I sprayed a Dinkable from set 11 with water and laid it onto the inked pages for a few seconds, before mopping up the water using a clean cloth.
Once this was dry, I added some stamping using some of the worker stamps from the Journaling Essentials #9 Stamp Set. The theme for our challenge is to use Journaling Essentials Stamps.
On a separate piece of paper I stamped the large flower from the same set in Versafine Clair Blue Belle. I used a paintbrush and water to add colour using the same inkpads, and cut them out.
I also added a few highlights using gelly roll moonlight pens and a white posca.
I added some extra stamped elements from the same stamp set before positioning the flowers and some wordy stickers with Matte Medium. Finally I added some white Faux stitching around the page and the sentiment.
I used:
Distress Oxide inks in Chipped Sapphire, Rustic Wilderness, Saltwater Taffy, Bundled Sage and Old Paper
Posca Pen
5x5" notebook/ sketchbook/ journal
Our Challenge theme for February is Journaling Essentials and there are plenty of stamps to choose from in the Journaling Essentials range. I do hope you will join in.
Thanks for looking!
