Oodles of Circles

 

Hi There! We have a new challenge over on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group with a theme of circles. Here's how my circles journal page came together. 

I began by sponging some Broken China distress oxide ink down the centre of the pages. 

Next, I sprayed a circle dinkable with water, laid it onto the oxide ink and then mopped up the excess water with kitchen towel. 

Once this was dry, I added some Rainbow Bubbles catalyst collage paper on each side with matte medium. I left a gap on the right hand page for the next step. 

I cut out some circles from a sheet of the Circles and Butterflies Catalyst Collage paper and added them to the page, including in the gap I left on the right page.

I cut around the edge of the circles on the edge of the page. 

Using a posca pen and the dinkable from earlier, I added some more circles to the page. 

I used some of the circle stamps from Journaling essentials set 1, along with coordinating Distress Oxide inks to add some subtle stamping to the page.

On a separate sheet of card, I stamped half of the large gerbera and 3 small ones in black versafine clair ink. I coloured them using Dina Wakley gloss drops and cut them out. 

Finally, I added these and a wordy sticker sentiment to the pages using matte medium. 

Here are the finished pages once more.
