Another journal page - but this was a little bit different. 

It was part of a Facebook 7 day scavenger hunt challenge, with a group of friends, adding a little bit more each day.

Initially we needed to start with either an A4 or 8 by 8 inch piece of paper.

I started with an 8 by 8 piece of water colour paper

and added Distress Oxide to it.

Day 1 ... A Stamped Image. 

I stamped this image from Tim Holtz on a beige cardstock, cut it out and added it. I tried to stamp directly but there was too much texture in the watercolour paper.

Day 2 ... Lace ribbon or trim. 

I used a ribbon hole punch along the side of the paper and threaded ribbon through it.

At this stage I also stuck my page into my journal as this isn't a swap...

Day 3 ... Buttons 

I added some tiny orange buttons between the threaded ribbon.

Day 4 ... bookprint or newsprint

I added some torn scraps of print and added a wash of watered down Distress Crayon to this.

Day 5 ... Sequins or Gems          Day 6 ... Die Cuts or Toppers

I think you can see the gems on the right hand side. I then added die cuts cut from a Distress Oxide background. These dies had never been used - I won them from Outlawz ages ago. I wll there fore add this make to NBUS Challenge #17.

Day 7 ... Anything Else You Want To Add

I decided to go with a couple of sentiments stamped on the beige cardstock and snipped into pieces. The first one is from Doo Lally Pip.

I used a black pencil to go around the die cuts and words to emphasize them.

The second one is from Visible Image.

I will add this to Leigh's Linky.

Happy Crafting!
