Journal fun with Astrid

Hello lovely Shimmerz friends, hope April has treated you well so far....
I have another journal spread to share with you today:

With this project I wanted to explore how Shimmerz products would work together with the new Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.... My verdict? They work brilliantly together!
I started by laying down lots of different textures on my pages:

Some strips of lace and roses, followed by texture paste through various stencils and then a thick coat of gesso.

Next I added some light titan buff and light yellow acrylic paint and when that had dried added a variety of yellow and green tones of Oxide Inks with my blending tools. Then I went to work with my sprays, these were the colours I used:

Vibez: Egg Noggin, and  Palm Reader and at the end some Before Dawn

Coloringz Oh Say Can U Sea

Creameez Sage It Isn't So

Below some close ups of what happens when you spray onto the Oxides, - I just love the effect:

For the focal point on my spread I used these cute children from the new Tim Holtz Paper Dolls.

For some further interest I also added a vintage flower image and some Washi tape, other ephemera and some background stamping.

And here the final spread once more, hope you like it, - I had great fun seeing how these different products worked together. If you would like to have a play with some yummy Shimmerz products and would like to get some free paint, - here is what to do:

Thanks for your visit and happy crafting!
