AALL & Create: Ocean Wonders

Hello!

I hope you are keeping safe and well.

Today for my Guest DT project for AALL & Create I have made a journal page using the beautiful stamp set called Ocean Wonders for my focal images.

Here is my page:

 

And here are some close ups:

The background was made by stamping with a stencil. 

Distress Oxides in various shades of blue and green were swiped directly onto the stencil, spritzed with water and stamped . I did this twice, then spritzed the paper with water to get some puddles and drips.

The stamps were stamped onto tissue paper and onto white card. In order to reverse one of the fish heads to match up with the body of the fish, I applied the tissue reverse side up. The flowers from both stamps were intertwined.

Background stamping with Versafine Clair coloured inks.

The stamped tissue was adhered with Matte Medium onto the background. Colour from Distress Oxides was sponged to disguise the tissue edges. 

The card stamped images were coloured with Inktense Watercolour pencils and adhered on top. The reverse fish head and flowers were more difficult to colour as the tissue was glued to the card. Next time I will use a gel plate to reverse the stamp. A quick fix for this will be to add more flowers on top.

The edges of the page were inked with darker blues and more stamping in black was added. A word from washi tape #6 was torn and applied along with a sentiment chip.
