Monochrome

 

Hi there! I am here with a step by step tutorial to create this simple journal page.

I began by cutting a piece of the greyscale catalyst card from set 4 (A5) and attached it to the page using Matte Medium.

Next I covered one of the texture discs with black soot distress oxide ink, spritzed with water and pressed it onto the page. I lifted off the texture disk and dried the page using a heat tool.

Using the dotty Dinkable I added more ink using a blending brush, as well as around the edges of the page.

I cut the circles and the word from the transparency prints and added them to the page using Matte Medium.

On a scrap of white card I stamped the sketchy flower and cut it out leaving a small white border.

Finally I added the flower to the page too. Here is the finished page....

And next to it's companion in the journal. 

I used:

Catalyst cards set #4 - A5 greyscale

Distress oxide ink in Black soot

Texture discs set #4

Dinkables set #2 

Transparency Prints - Beautiful and Brave, and Journaling Essentials #1

Sketchy Flowers stamp set
 Versafine Clair Black ink

Matte Medium

Although monochrome is out of my comfort zone, I love how beautifully this contrasts with it's colourful companion! It's also inspiration for the challenge over in the Bee crafty Stamps group.

I think I will be back to my usual colourful self next week!

A quick and simple birthday card

 

Good Morning! I thought I would share a super simple card with you today as the CT are all busy playing with new new stuff that we can't share yet. 😉

I began by taping the easy frame circle to the front of a 6x6 card and then positioning one of the texture discs in the middle. I blended mermaid lagoon distress ink on one side and wilted violet on the other, taking care not to move the disc.

On a scrap of white card, I stamped 3 each of the smaller flowers from the Doodle art Sunflower regular stamp set, cutting them out and colouring them with ecoline brush pens. 

I added these to the white border on the card at equal intervals, stamping a sentiment in teh bottom left corner. 

It needed a little something else, so I took the mini circles from the same stamp set and added these stamped in black in between each flower. 

Here is the finished card again.

I used:

6" circle easy frame inkable

Texture discs set 1

Doodle Art Suflower regular stamp set

Wordage Every day sentiments 2 stamp set

Distress inks in Mermaid lagoon and Wilted violet

Versafine Clair Nocturne ink 

Ecoline brush pens
