Speak Your Truth Journal page

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you how I made this journal spread today. 

I began by blending Distress oxide ink in wavy lines across the pages. This page had had some matte medium and tissue paper applied to the centre where the book was falling apart a little. 
Next I inked up the Dinkable with Black soot, sprayed with water and pressed onto the pages 3 times. 
I used the same inks to colour a seperate piece of paper . 
I stamped the Doodle Art Gerbera large flower onto this and cut it out. 
On a scrap of the remaining paper I also stamped the small gerbera and cut that out too. 
I stamped a leaf from Journaling essentials #3 onto a scrap of white paper several times and cut those out too. 
using some of the other stamps from the set I added stamping around the page. I added the large flower and 5 leaves to the right page using matte medium.
I found a sentiment to add to the left page on a transparency sheet and added it using matte medium again. 
Finally I added a few white splatters with my posca, stuck the small flower in the bottom left corner with the remaining leaves and added white highlights to both flowers using a gel pen. 

I used
5x5" square notebook
Distress oxide ink in Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserve, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock feathers and Black soot
Black versafine Clair ink
White gel pen
White Posca pen
Matte Medium

There's only a little over a week left to enter the Vintage Challenge on the Bee Craft stamps group on Facebook. I do hope a few more people can find the time to enter. 
I will be live this evening on the Bee Crafty Facebook page at 8pm with more vintage inspiration. 
Thanks for looking!
