Love the stitching! For the white envelope maybe you could use a stencil and add some ink to distress it.

@annnye604 6 ай бұрын

I love the journal card you’ve created! Perhaps you could simple “grunge” up the white envelope with a Distress ink like Tea Dye or Antique Linen, using a light touch with a foam applicator and darkening the edges a bit?

I ❤ your work

I love the idea of using a card for the prompt (and it is a great way to transform those scrapbook pages I often don’t know how to use!). I am having a lot of those “I didn’t know you could do that moments” 😂. As if there are special rules I am unaware of !

Haha, thank you!! JJJ is always good for trying new things!

Hand stitching is lovely in our journals. I added some hand stitched scrolls to mine that I have been wanting to use - it makes me so happy. I think I’d just coffee dye the envelope because the layers are thick. A sponge application or paintbrush would work thinly enough I think. But you could always use pastels or coloured pencils too.

I’m so excited to use this prompt. I haven’t used it a lot in my journals but have wanted too. I’m thinking this prompt will encourage more of the stitching technique.

Yay!Have fun!

This was my first time doing any stitching in my journals. I love how it turned out. I will probably include it more in my journals now❤

@tanjablume6343 6 ай бұрын

I have never done any stitching, but I love the look of your card and examples, it adds such great texture and interest 🥰

@gailoliver5676 6 ай бұрын

Love the stitching on the journal card. For the white envelope, you could collage on it. Or simply stain it with make it brown with an ink pad. Or stamp images on it and add a quote.

You could try Temu or Taperology for something similar. They have beautiful scrapbooking papers for a very reasonable price. I am in Queensland but presume it is available worldwide. Lovely stitches page also. Just love your elements

Love it! well done. 😃👍 Maybe cover the envelope with one of the "washi"-Sticker pages like you put on the card? ....

Love your scrappy stitched tag. The prompts has been great

@tashabradshaw1793 6 ай бұрын

I've used a sepia colored ink with an ink blender on stark white pages within my journals. I just use a light hand in the middle and make the edges a bit darker. Your journaling card is beautiful.❤❤❤

@4chicagogrl 6 ай бұрын

Suppose you just took a damp tea bag and rubbed it over the back of the envelope to tone down the white a bit? It would have little effect on the other side of it I’d think.

@DevonLass 6 ай бұрын

I’d love to see how you would coffee dye the envelope. I didn’t know you could coffee dye a white page once it’s actually in a journal xx

@megjournals 6 ай бұрын

Yes you can use a coffee mixture with a paintbrush if you’re careful! ☺️

@ChantelleArts 6 ай бұрын

These junk journals are so inspiring ☺☺

@jennycollin7922 6 ай бұрын

Put a piece of plastic inside the envelope to give you a base and then coffee dye the white part. It shouldn’t bleed through if you do this or even heavy cardboard would work.

@tinasteinborner7786 6 ай бұрын

Great card. The envelope needs some grunge.. maybe use a stencil and ink

This is so so pretty! Hugs, treen 💕💕💕💕

@sharonpetty6101 6 ай бұрын

I love the journal card in this prompt! If you don’t coffee dye the white envelope or use distress inks, I love the brown Kraft paper you used on the back of the journal card. Maybe cover the whiteness of the envelope with brown paper or sewing pattern paper? Am sure you will come up with the perfect plan! Love your aesthetic!!! ❤❤❤

@megjournals 6 ай бұрын

Ooooh! My mind just went PING when you said sewing paper - coffee dyed tissue paper!! I think that would work and the texture would be yummy 🥰

Yes!!!❤❤❤

I found the sticker book but unfortunately it doesn't look like they sell them anymore. It was from a New Zealand store called the white rabbit store. I haven't found any other ones that are that size.
