Wild Abandon by Alison (Craftytrog)

Hello Stampers! Today I have a journal page to share with you.

This page started out as a bit of an experiment. I covered the base with DecoArt crackle paste, & then left it overnight to dry.

For the next stage, I painted it with Claret Fresco Finish, & sponged some Inky Pool FF around the edges.

Then I applied Grunge Paste through a Crafter's Workshop stencil, allowed it to dry, then sponged Inky Pool FF paint over the top.

I finished the background by using a soft brush to apply White Fire Treasure Gold around the edges.

The tag was a leftover from a previous project, using blue Fresco Finish paints. I used my finger to add a little Claret paint, sponged the edges with Inky Pool, then stamped the Script from Calligraphic Mat 11 with Sienna Archival Ink.

I stamped the image from the Nudes Plate onto glossy card, using Cobalt Archival Ink, then sponged on some Broken China Distress Ink. I distressed the edges, then glued it to the tag.

I used Sienna Archival Ink and alphabet stamps for the wording, inked the edges with Cobalt, then glued in place.

After gluing the tag to the background, I used the Karantha Elegant Lady mould & some friendly plastic to make the top left embellishment. I made the starfish & shells using a cake decorating mould & FP, & added a gold metal button to the top of the tag.

Here's my page again...

Thanks for visiting,

Alison xxx
