Hi There! I often spend some time between Christmas and new year tidying my desk, and putting all the christmas stamps back in their folders so I can find them again (I have in the past lost things at this time of year). Once the desk space was clear I decided to do a little bit if journaling to welcome in 2025. I don't do new years resolutions, but I do like to choose myself a word or two to focus on with a positive mindset. How about you? What do you do?
I began by blending distress oxides across the pages. I used Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet.
Next, I placed the mandala inkables onto the page and blended Black Soot Distress Oxide through them. I was thinking of using the same inkable twice, but changed my mind and used a different one as you will see in the next photo.
Using an inkables skyline I added more Black Soot Distress oxide along the bottom of the page.
I then added a few light sprays of Distress spritz in Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and weathered wood.
On a scrap of white card, I stamped the big numbers 2025 in Charming Pink Versafine Clair and cut them out.
Finally I added these to the page along with sone wordy stickers using matte medium.
Here is the finished (?) page again. I may well add some white pen before I put it away😂
I used:
A square 5 inch journal
Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet and Black Soot.
Thanks for looking and I hope 2025 bring you joy and opportunities! I also hope you can treat yourself to something from the
Bee Crafty Twixmas sale which ends on 5th January!
