Alison CT - Journaling Girls Bev and Sam

Hi, as today is Journaling Girls day, I have created this step by step guide to creating this journal page.

To begin I chose one of the catalyst papers and used a wet paint brush to help me tear a piece that would leave a 1cm border around it when glued into my Dina Wakley Media journal. I used distress collage medium to glue it to the page. 

Whilst the collage medium was drying I stamped Bev and Sam and three of the heart stamps onto a piece of Talens mixed media paper using Versafine Clair morning mist. I coloured them with ecoline pens and cut them out.

Next I stamped the bunting border, using Versafine Clair charming pink, around most of the edge of the catalyst paper. I also stamped the chain border three times horizontally using Versafine Clair verdant ink.

Then I stamped a selection of arrows and other worker stamps from the Journaling Girls Arrows samp set using the charming pink and verdant ink.

Next I chose four sentiments from the small words 1 stamp set and stamped them with morning mist ink. I deliberately bent the stamps so they were not straight. I then cut them out.

Finally I glued everything to the page using collage medium.
