Morning(only just) and last Saurday of the month so time for the Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with my blogging friend Vicki of Stamped Smiles,hope you check out her amazing blog.
This month the prompt was distress/rough up/sand/rip- well this month I managed them all!!!
I started with ripped up book pages edged with distress inks,then a torn piece of coruggated gate with added distress inks. Looking through my bit box a found the old piece of embossed cardstock(bought embossed) which i roughrd up with an emery board and added some gilding wax(a bit of a mess as had dried out so sprayed with water to get some out,I also found a stamped and cut out Dragonfly from Stamping art and just glued the body down leaving the wings free,this had been stamped onto a piece of the boiled papers I made a few years ago, script stamping with a craft mag freebie stamp(again years old) and a strip of numbers from the inside of a kitchen roll inner.
PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

Great bit of mixed media Carol…looks like you had fun….take care xxxx
The dragonfly looks amazing with all the other fun elements added to this page. Nice job!
Your journal page is incredibly creative and textured! The combination of distressed book pages, corrugated gate piece, and embossed cardstock with gilding wax adds a rich, tactile quality. The stamped dragonfly on boiled paper and vintage script stamping give it a wonderfully layered and nostalgic feel.
Oh my this is so gorgeous Carol! I love the beautiful embossed floral background you've done behind the dragonfly is also very cool and so large! Love all of the distressed edges and ripped book pages! You've absolutely nailed everything my friend! Excellent job as always!! Hugs for a lovely weekend!!
