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!

    Well that was a work in progress :). Did you have to wait each day for the prompt? I like the ribbon punch addition. Brilliant sentiments too x. No idea where I bought the outline stickers, I have had them years!

      Yes - the prompts were given daily - but I joined late so I saw the first few at once. However I did each one before considering the next so it was a matter of 'keeping on creating even when you have no idea what you will end up with'.

    What a perfect sentiment to match your process for creating this! I love the houses; they look great with the inks!
