Again I have been taking part in an online journal workshop with Sharon Everett
at The Forget Me Not Kraft Kabin

I really enjoyed this one - this is how it developed in my A5 journal...first I glued a strip of tissue across the centre of the double page.



While this was drying I started adding Distress Oxide (you can see black soot and picked raspberry here) to a piece of water colour paper.

I then started adding these and peacock feathers to my journal pages, adding each colour in turn with lots of spritzing and drying in between.



Next I added embossing paste through some stencils (Tim Holtz and The Crafters Workshop - Rebekah Meier) . 

The paste is Shimmery White from Stampin up - see it sparkle!

Next I used gold embossing powder to emboss those circles.

I also added gold embossing across torn strips of my piece of watercolour paper from the beginning, using an embossing pen, before adding the powder and heat setting it.

I added black soot to the torn edges of these before sticking them in place.

Finally I added die cuts - create (Tim Holtz) from black card and some hearts from the same background as the torn strips.

I used a black pencil to emphasise the hearts.

Great fun!

I will add this to Leigh's Linky.

Happy Crafting!
