Want a little word


...that is current word over at One Little Word a challenge run by Ronda Palazzari. I decided that as I seem to be obsessed by all things little that I would start a super mini journal using this:


I have been carving some new stamps this morning and the little heart was carved from the leftovers. Stamped in black archival and used second, third, etc generation of ink to create background.


Then created overlay using some super thick acetate recycled from some packaging, used embossing folder and created a little tab.

 
I decided my background needed a splash of colour so out came the barn door distress stain and of course added my words onto the acetate overlay.




I had the following other challenges in mind while I designed this little journal page.

    Wow - the heart stamping looks amazing (kudos for the hand-carved stamp!) in the various shades of grey, and I love the tiny journal, and those bold words over the acetate look fabulous! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Our Creative Corner.
