Hi and welcome :0) Today´s page is ca 6.5" x 9" (cca 16 x 23 cm).
I started with a backround colored with Distress inks in brown colors, embossed with an older embossing folder. For the collage I used images from Maremi´s Small Art ephemera books. I fussy cut them, inked the edges and combined them to the final image. Very easy page :0)
Thank you for your visit and have a very nice day :0)

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)
24.1.2024 Happily foolish
Hi and welcome :0) Today's page is about 5.5" x 7.5" (cca 14 x 18.5 cm).
I was inspired by the joke. It's Czech variation. In English it would be: Two balloons are floating across the desert. One balloon says to the other: "Be careful, there's a cactusssssssss...."
I have a dragon (who is warning) and only one balloon (in danger) and the joke still works ,0) At least in czech language :D (It would be like this: Dragon says: "Look out for the cactus!" And balloon says: "Where do you see itttttttttt....".)
I used an embossed background created with Tim Holtz's Mosaic 3D folder with red Distress Spray Stains and Oxide Sprays, Distress Resist spray and brown Distress crayons. Cactus images are from Ciao Bella and dragon from Whimsy stamps. I coloured everything with Faber-Castell Pitt brush pens and black and white acrylic pens. Finally I added black cardstock embossed with Tattered Lace typewriter text folder.
Anyway, I like this page a lot and it made also my husband smile ,0))
Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)
20.1.2023 Hele, kaktus!
Hi and welcome :0). This is an another 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal page.
Last time I created two yellow-orange backgrounds with Distress stain sprays at once, so I wanted to use the second one in some different way than the previous.
I covered parts of the background with a copper metal texture paste through dotted stencil and teared numerous stripes from it. Then I found a nice Tattered Lace text embossing folder as my first layer and I glued four of the stripes on it. I used older koi stamps and a girl stamp from Pink ink designs. I colored everything with my PITT artist brush pens and white Prismacolor premier colored pencil. For the details and hair of the girl I used also Arteza white gel pen and a black acrylic paint pen. Finally I choosed my quotes from Tim Holtz Big chat stickers.
I think I fulfilled my goal - this page is totally different than the last one :D
Thank you again for your visit and have a nice spring day :0)
8.4.2022 Charming, timeless and free
Hi and welcome back. This is a last page in my 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal for 2021.
I used an embossing folder with Dylusions paints, greenery background paper from Mintay Papers with stamps from My Favorite Things. I coloured them with Brushmarkers PRO from Karin.
I can not imagine any home without houseplants so this page is definitely my cup of tea :0)
29.12.2021 A green home magic
Hi and welcome back. Today I have a new 8 x 9 inches (cca 20x22 cm) art journal page.
I played with a lovely Autumn splendor die from Honey Bee Stamps, bright colours of Dylusions sprays, gold spray and an older witch die from Tim Holtz. This autumn background die is so beatiful itself ant the colours so bright that it was very difficult to pair it with anyting else. But I did and I think I like the outcome :0) For the witch I used silver glitter paper and covered it with black alcohol ink and later with black PITT artist brush pen, so the black is darker but stil shiny.
This page is also my post for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge "Not a card".
Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)
