Alison CT - A5 Painted Gaze Catalyst Collage Papers

Hi everyone,  today I'm sharing an art journal page created using some of the A5 Painted Gaze Collage Papers, with several stamp sets.

 

To begin, I chose the paper with the flowers in the corners and cut it to fit my journal page. I used a punch to round the corners and then glued it to the page using matt medium.

Next, I stamped the grid and splats, from the journal art elements 3, three times on the page using Versafine Clair nocturne, overlapping them.

Then I cut out the full face image from the cover sheet and added it to the page, where the grids overlap, using foam tape.

I then stamped the bird from Journaling Essentials 6 stampset, two stars from the Stars Textures stamp set, the tape measure and five small circles from the Stitched Borders stamp set and the three circles from the Journaling Essentials 1 stamp set. I coloured these using distress inks (for colours see below). I cut the images out.

Next, I added the stamped elements to the page.

Finally I added a sentiment from the Wordy Stickers 2B.

Calee CT- Big Song

   Hello , this week I have a collage step by step  to share with you . Using the gorgeous new catalyst collage papers 

My first step was to choose the college paper and find my large journal , as I was going to use an A4 paper .This one is from the Wing Whispers collection. 

Next I lay down some colour on my page using distress inks in tonal colours , Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilised Amber and Spiced Marmalade. Then added a few drops and splatters of water , blotting my page to remove some of the ink . 

My next step was to tear the edges of the catalyst collage paper , and fussy cut around the flower . 

Next I took some old music paper , tearing a few strips to add to my background . 

Before I glued down the catalyst collage papers , and music strips , I added some stencilling through a script inkable, with Distress ink Mermaid Lagoon to highlight the blue from the collage paper . 

Then I addded some texture paste through one of the D’inkables from set 14 . 

The next step was to stamp out and colour one of the Doodle Art Rainbow birds . This I did with Ecoline water colour pens , with a loose watery feel , to blend the colours.

When everything was dry , I added a doodled boarder with a bold black pen and out lined the textured hearts with pink and blue watercolour pencils , blending it outwards. 

My last step was to add a sentiment , this one is from the Doodle Art Rainbow Birds . After I had stamped it out I cut it into two pieces and outlined lined with black pen.

I am really enjoying using these collage papers and I hope you have found my step by step useful. 

                       Happy crafting

Sally CT - More Collage inspiration

  

Hi There! I am here with another piece of inspiration using the gorgeous new Catalyst collage papers from Bee Crafty. Here is how this journal spread came together. 

I began by dry brushing some stripes of Dylusions paint across a double page in my 5" square sketchbook. I used Pure Sunshine and Peony Blush. 

Next I used one of the papers from the A5 set called Painted Gaze, Cutting it to fit the Left hand page, but tearing the right hand edge. from the remaining sheet I tore two strips, adding these to the right hand page over the paint. These were all attached using Matte Medium. 

I added a little Blueprint Sketch ink on the right hand page through a Dinkable from set 11

To tie in with the left hand page I also added some more collage - Book page strips this time. 

I stamped Be You from the Incredible Words stamp set on to stamping Tissue. 

I found 4 flowers made using the Doodle Art Blooming Blooms stamp set in my stash that matched the colours perfectly.

I added these elements to the right hand page using Matte Medium and then stamped a couple of the worker stamps from the same set in a few spaces on both sides using black Versafine Clair ink. I am still trying to pluck up the courage to add a handwritten word to this. Either Unapologetically or Authentically... worried about spoiling it though 😂

Alison CT - Wing Whispers Collage Paper

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using part of two of the brand new Wing Whispers Catalyst Collage papers with one of the Catalyst Card from pack 4 and both the Clocks stamp sets.

To begin, I cut the white edge off of the catalyst card and cut along the beige ribbon on the collage paper. I glued the collage paper to the left of the catalyst card using matt medium. Then I glued this to a page in my black A4 journal.

Next I used Faded Jeans distress ink to stamp the border stamp, from the Wasted Time stamp set, to create corners.

On seperate card, I stamped three clocks, the sentiment and lits of the cogs. I coloured these with distress ink then cut them out.

Next I cut out the large blue and purple butterfly from the Catalyst Collage paper.

I used matt medium to glue the stamped images to the page. I also added the butterfly.

Next I edged the sentiment with black pen and glued it to the page.

Finally I added white pen to the clicks and butterflies. I also added some white splatz. I also added three buttons down the edge of the collage paper.

Calee CT -Dandedaisy collage

Hello , this week I have my take on a collage journal page to show you .

My first step was to lay down some colour in my journal . I used 3 distress inks - Lucky Clover , Blueprint Sketch and Mowed lawn , randomly all over my page . Then I gave it a light spritz of water . 

Next I used the same colours through two D’inkables from set 11, again randomly across the page . 

The next step was to cut out various clocks from the full colour and greyscale catalyst cards #3 set,  I also tore a few strips from this colourful script paper and added some washi tape I have had in my stash for quite a while . 

I played around for a while with the placement of all the pieces and added an inked edge to the greyscale clocks to make them pop a little. I used distress ink Picked Raspberry. 

 

This is the layout I decided on .

My next step was to stamp out 2 of the large and 1 small  Doodle art Dandedaisy.

These were coloured with Ecoline water colour pens and a few white highlights and dots were added with a white gel pen .

Next I went back to my journal page and added to my background with a bold stitched border and some splatters with a pink and white posca pen , and of course a few hearts for good measure .

The final step was to stick down the dandedaisies and add a sentiment, This one is from the Wordage ticket tape 3 stamp set .

Thank you for stopping by , I hope you found my step by step guide useful .

Happy crafting 

Calee .

Sally CT - Be The Rainbow Journal Spread

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you what I have done with one of the brand new Catalyst Collage papers from Bee Crafty that were launched yesterday on Try it out Tuesday! 

I began by covering a double page in White gesso in my Dina Wakley Kraft media journal (10"x 7.25" pages).

Next, I took one of the pages from Rainbow Thoughts A4 Collage papers and tore around 3 sides. The design was a little bit larger than the page so I cut around the flower petals at the bottom and added it to the pages using Matte Medium. 

 I used Dylusions paint in Pure Sunshine, Blue Lagoon, Laidback Lilac and Peony Blush and dry brushed vertical and horizontal strokes around the pages. 

Once it was dry, I added some texture paste through a dinkable from set 13

Using another dinkable from set 3, I added splatter dots using Distress oxide inks in Uncharted Mariner and Villainous Potion.

I used the Art Stamp Leaves to stamp around the page using the two colours already mentioned along with Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink. 

Finally, I selected the Sentiment from Transparency Print Creative Words and added using Matte Medium.  

Here are the finished pages again. 

I used:

Bee Crafty Catalyst Collage paper from Rainbow Thoughts A4
