Forever my always offcut cardstock

Colour artist inks  -  oasis, marine

Colour paste – leathergrain

Colour Spray – Caribbean

Colourblast white Gesso

Small script text stamp

Black archival ink pad

Life of Colour chrome mirror pens

Dina Wakley kraft journal

Tim Holtz grit paste

Texture paste

Liquid adhesive/mounting tape

 

 

Spray Colourblast Colour Spray – Caribbean over a page of a Dylusions kraft journal.

Add drops of Colour artist inks  -  oasis, marine  into a quantity of texture paste then spread the paste through the Rustic script A4 stencil loosely over three areas of the page.  Allow to dry.

Add white splatters over the page also.

 

 

Cover the Dusty Attic chipboards assorted – industrial #3  with a light coat of white Gesso.

 

 

Carefully remove the chipboard shapes from the backing.

Mix several drops of Colour artist inks  -  oasis, marine  into a quantity of Tim Holtz grit paste (or texture paste) over the shapes thickly (use a pokey tool to remove excess paste from the holes in the chipboard shapes).

Once dry, rub some Colourblast Colour paste – leathergrain over the dried chipboards shapes.

Next apply some Colour artist inks  - marine over the chipboard to add depth to the piece.

Glue all the smaller elements (cogs etc) to the main shape, layering some of the pieces to create higher levels.  I also added a couple of Tim Holtz brads to the layered cogs for interest (optional).

Tear a small offcut of cardstock (Forever my always offcut cardstock) to suit the size of the chipboard.

Rub some Colourblast Colour paste – leathergrain around the torn edges.

Lightly rub some Colourblast Colour paste – leathergrain over the texture paste background of the journal page. 

Adorn the torn cardstock with script text stamp and black archival ink.

Use pieces of leftover chipboard backing and adhere to the back of the chipboard piece to add a layer and lift the chipboard off the page.

 

Add title to page with Life of Colour chrome mirror pens, add border to writing with Fude Ball black pen. 

Add sentiment with foam tape or add a photo to create a scrapbook layout.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have been inspired to create a unique layout.

Look forward to sharing with you again soon.
