Its our first challenge of the New Year with Stampotique and our theme this week is to create a Journal Page or cover or a diary or journal page. I decided to create a journal to store some of the upcoming challenges we have in store for you. I just used a piece of Tim Holtz Grunge paper which was given a couple of coats of gesso inside and out. I then used some distress stains spritzed with water on a craft mat and dragged the cover through, added some star shapes cut from an old book, added a Melissa Frances die cut and Maria's lovely Stampotique sentiment stamp, Keep Calm (7305). I then punched 4 holes in the cover and added some rings, added a pink ribbon to keep it closed and here it is........
Why not pop over and see what all my talented design team members have created. You can find all the details click here.
