Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Spritz and Splatter Journal Spread using Art by Marlene's Creative Journal and Tim Holtz's Collage Strips

"Spritz and Splatter" is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme.  I do love all things spritzy and splattery!  I decided to make a journal spread with plenty of Distress Oxide Spray.


I started with Art by Marlene's 4" x 4" (approximately) Creative Journal, which is a delightful size.  I glued some patterned paper down, most of which came from 49th and Market's Toddler Time collection.


Next I got splattery by spraying and flicking on some Distress Oxide Spray and some Media Gloss Spray.


As all of that dried, I realized that I did not like the pink vibe, so as usual, when I don't like how something is looking, I cover it up with white paint.


From here, I did some scribbling with Distress Watercolor crayons, and I started gluing on fabric scraps from Tim Holtz as well as some of his collage strip images.  I did some stamping with Seth Apter's EM124 stamp and Elizabeth Crafts' Measurements stamp.  I flicked on some more Distress Oxide Spray.


To finish it up, I did some more stamping and painting.  I added a flower image from Tim Holtz's Forgotten Garden set and a "happy thoughts" sentiment from his THMM182 stamp/stencil combo set.

I added a bit more paint here and there and this journal spread was done.


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
