Mixed CrafTangles Texture Pastes Cement and Asphalt (to create the desired consistency &amp; colour) and then applied them through a stencil onto the background<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n4. To add more interest to the background, sponged on CrafTangles Chalky Paints-Botanical Teal and Cool Jade through a couple of stencils onto the background (use very little paint to get a good sponged image)<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n5. Stamped onto the background using black archival ink and a text stamp<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n6. To add more colour to the background, sprayed the pages with water and then added CrafTangles Liquid Watercolours- Lemon Tart, Evergreen &amp; Poolside.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n7. Die cut a few beetles using CrafTangles Charcoal Black Cardstock &amp; to add shine to them, applied CrafTangles Art Wax- Turquoise&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n8. Adhered Tim Holtz metallic stickers and the die cut beetles to the pages using soft acrylic gel &amp; created ink splatter using watered down gesso and chalky paints.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n9.
