Alison CT - A break from Christmas Preparation

Hi everyone,  I don't know if you're like me at this time of year, but I occasionally need a break from all the Christmas preparation. So today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this art journal page using Catalyst Card, Catalyst Collage Papers and variety of inkable products.

To begin, I cut the white edges off of one of the A6 greyscale Catalyst cards from set 2. I then tore it into pieces diagonally. I used a punch to round the corners, then used matte medium to glue it to the page. I then blended prize ribbon and seedless preserve distress oxide over it. 

As the leaves on the catalyst card had been almost hidden by the ink, I went over them with a white posca pen.

Using the pointy leaf dinkable from set 14 I drew some more leaves using the white posca pen. I added white dots to coordinate with the catalyst card images.

I cut out the face from the catalyst collage paper from the A5 Rainbow Thoughts pack.

Using only the flowers from the inkables tags from sets 4 and 6 and distress oxides to match the image, I added single flowers over the leafy areas. I then used matte medium to glue the image to the page.

Finally I chose a sentiment from the Wordy Stickers sheet 1, added it to the page and used a pink micron pen to add a border to it.
