I have been enjoying having a browse of Paige Taylor Evans' blog recently and it has encouraged me to get my paints out and have a play in every white space! Ok I didn't need that much encouragement but she has huge amounts of painty inspiration! I started this page with strips of papers in the colours from Cocoa Vanilla's Hello Sunshine collection - as I couldn't cut up the star burst paper you saw in my last post I was forced to delve through my stash for some yellow - so there is some Crate Paper, Studio Calico and Cosmo Cricket in there too! I layered up the strips, distressing the edges and worked from yellows through to blues with a bit of multi-colouredness in the mild. I then added stickers from the sticker pack in this collection and the odd star and strip of paper from You Rock too.
At the base of the page I dug out my distress oxides and use fossilised amber, lemonade, broken china and coral, adding layers and drying the layers in-between to keep the colours crips. I then just added a few stickers and the journalling. I love how colourful this page ended up....lots of paper and a bit of mess!
Here you can see the distress oxides at work.
I love all the layers of colour and pretty papers!
