Alison CT - Using up Bits and Bobs

Hi everyone, ever time I get new products from Bee Crafty, I stamp lits of each new stamp before making samples. I never use all that I create and these get put in a box to use later. Later rarely comes, as I forget what is in the box. 

I also save all the off cuts from the catalyst cards, catalyst papers and old book pages. So today I decided it was time to use some.

To create the background, I tore up pieces of left over catalyst card, catalyst paper and old book pages and collaged them, using matt medium, to create a colourful page. I left this to dry naturally. 

To give the pieces some cohesion, I blended uncharted mariner distress ink through the circles inkable big one. 

Now I had my background, I searched through my box of stamped images and chose the ones I wanted to use. As the background was bright, I decided to colour the images with Ecoline watercolour pens. I decided to leave the cogs white.

I used matt medium to glue the images to the page.

Finally, I cut down a sentiment from the wordy stickers, added them to the page and drew a freehand line around the edge.
