A Great Adventure- Journal Layout.

A Great Adventure, journal layout

i always seam to do double layouts in my journals, i cant seam to get my head around having two different things on opposite pages lol but i'm not bothered i love working the doubles.

using some of my  June DT kit from Thompsons Craft supplies

13arts blue magnolia A4 butterfly collage

butterfly and dragonfly craftboard

ab studio butterfly and bug tracing paper

Tim Holtz ideaology small talk sticker book

Dina wakley paint ocean

i also used some cardboard from a box, some hand made stamps, some stamped and aged circles , some washi tape and some gesso.

i cut  out some of the paper to fit the right hand side of my double layout and then tore round the edges,

 with what  was left , 2 pieces from the side and bottom, i tore round them and turned them sideways and glued to the other page,  so both of my pages were covered i then added some washi tape and the torn off pieces from my main sheet to add the next layer.

i then scraped some white gesso over the pages to soften it down.

when it was dry i then added the Ocean paint using my finger, just here and there.

i chose my dragonfly and butterfly and sponged with the ocean paint.

i splattered with some black watercolour paint

i then layered up my card, stamps, butterfly tracing paper, distressed circle and butterfly/dragonfly, working both sides at the same time.

lastly i found my title , mounted onto some card then added them to my layout and using a journalling pen i framed the title and both the pages but not down the centre.
