Starburst Spray Journal Page by Ericka

Hello gang! Ericka here and I hope things are staring to look more like Spring where you are located. I’m here in Texas, so we had a couple days of Spring and now it seems like we might be heading into a hot summer. 

Today, I was inspired by Nuneka and her Instagram Live when she created a gorgeous tag using Distress Glaze with a stencil. I decided to try this “new to me” technique with an AALL & Create Rainbow Lane Stencil and the Lindy’s Gang Starburst Sprays in Hottie Patottie Hot Pink and TiffanyLou’s Blue.

Process:

1. Die cut some Bristol Smooth paper.  I used the AALL & Create Skycrossed Paradise die. Pick a stencil and use a blending tool with Distress Glaze to apply it through the stencil. The Distress Glaze acts as a resist and will resist color. I used AALL & Create Rainbow Lane Stencil for my project.

2. Select some Starburst Shimmer Sprays to cover your background as much or as little as you like. I used the Hottie Patottie Hot Pink and TiffanyLou’s Blue. Set you background aside to dry. As a side note – you can add a thicker layer of Distress Glaze to get a bigger resist.

3. Optional – Once your background is dry, you can add some stamping. I added some fun marks from the AALL & Create Visual Dreams set in Versamark Clair inks in Twilight, Charming Pink, and Warm Breeze. I also splattered some Afternoon Delight Denim Shimmer Spray on my background for a dark contract to my bright background.

4. I added some additional die pieces included in the set to my background. For some added fun, I heat embossed some of them with Hyacinth Blue Jade and Hydrangea Blue Mauve. I also die cut some leftover paper in my stash from past Lindy’s projects.

5. I finished my page my adding this fun sentiment from the AALL & Create Bite Me Die Cuts and attaching my background to a black die cut included in the set.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to play with your Starburst Sprays in a new way!

Have a wonderful week,

Ericka
