Welcome and all the best in 2024 :0) This is my first journal page of this year (23 cm x 15.5 cm / 6" x 9") and it is my entry for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge "Add Some Texture".
Usually I don´t make New Year's resolutions, but if I would, for this year it would definitely be "buy less and create more" ,0). It would be great to use finally all the beautiful crafty things I already have. Or realize the ideas which are waiting in my head for such a long time.
So today is the day.... I love smell of the coffee, although I dont drink it and I wanted to create some page stained with it. I made a few of them very long time ago and these pages still smell wonderfully... Today´s page is a combination of coffe and Distress inks and smell in my craft room is just awesome and intense (maybe because I dried papers with my heat tool) ,D
I used brown tinted papers in two shades for the background and all the 3 tags. I stained them more with a strong coffee, added some embossing (with a damask folder on the background and with a gold powder on the tags). I stencilled the tags with Distress inks and stamped some tiny text with Distress Archival inks in Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso. I colored white ribbon with Distress Spray stains and cut the letters with Tim Holtz alphanumeric Tiny Type die set. My focal points are digital images from Etsy finished a bit with gold acrylic pen.
And this is it for today. Thank you for your visit, stay happy and healthy and see you soon :0)
