When I'm using the catalyst collage papers any off cuts from a project get stuck in an A5 journal that I keep on my craft table for this purpose. Today, as the page was full, I decided to use it as a background.
To blend out all the different edges of the pieces of paper, I used my finger to apply and spread white gesso over the page.
Next I applied picked raspberry and spiced marmalade distress oxide ink through the rectangle and crosses inkable tag from set 3.
I then cut out my chosen image from the A5 Painted Gaze catalyst collage pack.
Using matte medium, I glued the image to the left hand side of the page.
To create a shadow effect around the image, I used mermaid lagoon distress oxide with a wet paint brush to paint around it. I smudged this paint out with my finger, so there were no harsh lines.
Having chisen a Transparency Prints Walk Your Own Way sentiment and cut it out I painted over the back with a white posca pen. This makes the words stand out against the background. When the paint pen was dry I glued it to the page.
