Tranquility – A Journal Page with Kerry

Hello Lovely Lindy’s fans! It’s Kerry with you today and I have a journal page to share with you. I had such a lovely time just playing in my journal, with no plan or idea what I was going to create, it was so peaceful and enjoyable and this ‘tranquil’ page is what I ended up with.
I used just 3 of the fabulous Lindy’s Starburst Sprays to add all this color to my page.

To begin, I spritzed some water on my pages. I lightly sprayed the Bling-y Blonde and Pretty in Pink Pink sprays and then added more water and moved the page around to blend the colors a little. I mopped up some of the water with a paper towel and then added a few splashes of each color to intensify the color in some spots and dried off with a heat tool.

I added a little random text stamping using black archival ink.

Next, using a paint brush, I applied some gesso to help soften the background.

I selected a couple of washi tapes with similar colors to add to my page, this gave me some additional texture and makes the background more interesting to look at. I added a little more gesso over the tape with a palette knife to give the page a more cohesive look and dried off thoroughly.

Using archival ink and some stamps, I have added a border and some circles.

I added my embellishments, a gorgeous lotus die cut and some dew drops. Some gesso was applied to the circles to help them pop up from the background.
Use the Shabby turbine teal spray to add a few light splashes to the page above the lotus.  I applied some shading to the underside of the lotus with a black stabilo all pencil and then using the Shabby Turbine Teal spray and a paint brush, I painted the ‘water’ for the lotus to sit on.

Add a ‘Whichcraft’ chipboard title, some black archival ink around the edges and a few black splatters to finish the page off.
