Embossing paste

I did get round to it!! This is the technique that I was shown in my local craft shop. I am pleased with the results but not the photo. It is just no good using the flash. It did take me two attempts to get it right the first time I moved the paste around the stencil too much and it ended up smudging. On the second attempt I ran the paste down the stencil and tried not to over work the paste.

Using Lemon Juice to distress paper

I saw this technique in a magazine a while ago and thought I would give it a try. I am quite pleased with the results. The second journaling panel was created by placing the bottom of the bottle in the lemon juice.

I stuck the finished paper onto some chipboard and ran it through my BIG SHOT and the inked the edges.

This is the equipment I used, the cloth was to clean up the mess I made.
