Alison CT - Transparency print with media paper background.

Hi everyone, I decided I wanted to use the paint splat media paper for a background in my Dylusions creative mini journal. Here are step by step instruction for what I did to create this page.

To begin, I placed the media paper over a double page and carefully drew a light pencil line just inside the edge of the page. Next I followed this pencil line with a wet paintbrush and tore along the wet line carefully.

Next I applied distress collage medium to bith the page and the back of the media paper. I then carefully positioned it on the page. Then I used a large flat brush, with more collage medium to brush the media paper into the crease of the double page. I then applied collage medium from the crease out to the edge of the page to ensure all edges were stuck down. Leave to dry.

Next I used the damask inkable with lumberjack plaid distress ink to add two areas of the design to the top right and bottom left of the page. Dry this ink, with a heat gun, as the collage medium will slow drying time.

Next I applied grit texture paste through the perspective dots inkable and dried it with a heat gun. Next I used the crackle stamp with lumberjack plaid ink.

Next I stamped one of the freehand borders 2 onto the two pages using the lumberjack plaid ink.

I cut out my chosen transparencies.

I then stamped a selection of the rainbows from the journaling essentials 1 stamp set using the same ink around the page and glued the transparencies in place using collage medium. I then stamped two sentiments, cut them out and glued them to the page.
