Sally CT - Same but different!
Hi There! Ever since Bev and Sam brought out the full colour and Greyscale catalyst cards, I've been meaning to have a go at something like this journal spread. Here's what I did.
I began by putting the same design of paper on opposite pages of my journal, one in greyscale and one in full colour. Once this was stuck to the page, I added some black soot distress oxide through a D'inkable in the same place on each side.On a separate piece of card I stamped the Doodle Art gerbera and two butterflies, cutting the gerbera in half. I coloured in one pair with ecoline pens to match the background.
Just inking the centre of the butterfly I added the antennae and body to the pages, making sure there was enough room for the wings to lay flat.
I added the coloured flower and butterfly to the greyscale page and the white to the colour page using Matte medium. I also stamped the worker stamp a couple of times on each page in opposite corners.
I used white gel pen to add highlights to the coloured butterfly and flower....
and gelly roll moonlight florescent pens to add to the white butterfly and flower.
Finally, I added wordy stickers to both pages.
Here's another look at the finished pages.

Sally CT - Go For it!
Hi there! Thought I would show you how I made this card for my blog post today. I began by covering a tag inkable in distress oxide ink, giving it a spritz of water then laying it ink side down on a piece of mixed media or watercolour card. I did this three times with the three different colours then dried with a heat tool.
Once this was dry I added some more colour using the same inks and blending brushes.
Next I took the innie from the 4" star easy frame and blended black soot distress oxide over it. I did this 3 times too. I also sponged a little black ink around the edges
using the Background Script stamp I added some patches of script randomly around the card using the black soot Distress Oxide ink
Next I added a few patches of Distress Spritz over the panel.
Finally I attached the whole panel to a DL sized card. I did contemplate adding more to it, like white pen or butterflies but decided it was fine as it was.
