Cool Colours Journal page

 

Hi There! Here is a journal page I put together over the weekend. I thought you might like to see how it came together. 

I began by adding some blobs of Dylusions paints along the page edge and sprayed with water whilst the page was tilted to encourage it to run. 

Once this was dry I stamped bits of the script stamp in versafine clair blue belle ink over the page randomly. This is easier to do with the stamp off the acrylic block and a small area inked up. 

I sprayed a little salvaged patina distress oxide spray by the side of the paint, added a little water and let that run in the same way, blotting in a few places where it had pooled. This was left to dry

Next I took one of the tag inkables from set 4 and added grit paste through it over the painted area of the page.

Once this was dry I gently rubbed a little gilding wax over it. 

I stamped some freehand borders and journaling essentials  onto stamping tissue using the blue ink.

I stamped the words in black ink onto tissue too

Finally I added these elements to the page using matte medium.

Here is the page again.

I used:

Dina Wakeley 6x6 white journal

Dylusions paints in Blue lagoon, London blue, Periwinkle and Crushed grape

Script background stamp

Distress Oxide spray in Salvaged Patina

I began by applying some grit paste through the stencils to the mdf tag

Once this was dry, I painted the tag with the three colours of paint.

Next I mixed a little clear gesso with the explosion powder and applied it over the raised areas on the tag.

I stamped the borders and circles with the archival ink.

Next I splattered the tag with a little of the gloss spray and left it to dry.

I stamped the dragonfly in versafine ink onto the watercolour paper, then coloured it with the ecoline pens.

I cut it out and stuck it to the tag with gel medium, applying a little glossy accents along the body.

Finally I stamped a sentiment onto black card and heat embossed in white, adding it to the bottom corner. I also added a few bits of copper gel pen to the tag and the butterfly.

Here is another look at the finished tag with a piece of coordinating ribbon.
