Connect with nature journal page

 

Hi There! Here is a page in my little journal that I made. Here's how I did it. 

I began by blending Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted violet Distress oxide ink down the page. 

Next I took a piece of stamping tissue and stamped it with the script background stamp in Bali Blue Versafine Clair.

I added it to the page using matte medium and left it to dry.

Once it was dry I removed the excess tissue from the edges and used the innie from the 4" circle easy frame to draw around with a distress crayon. I blended this with my finger

Using opaque texture paste and a tag inkable I added the swirl bottom left. 

I had a Doodle Art dragonfly already stamped on to catalyst card that matched beautifully. I used a quicky glue pen and some gilding flakes to add a few highlights to the dragonfly and a faux stitched line to the background, before adding the dragonfly using matte medium.

Finally I added the wordy sticker sentiment.

Sorry I was missing last week. After 4 months of living with us after they had sold their house, our daughter and her partner got the keys to their new house. We helped them move in over a couple of days and they have been busy unpacking over the weekend. It's not easy when your possessions are spread between both parents houses and a storage unit. It sounds like they are making good progress now. 

I will be live tonight over on the Bee Crafty Facebook page. I hope you can join me! Thanks for looking!
