I am pretty excited about this new creation! This creative journal was designed using a composition note book (you can pick them up at a pretty reasonable price). I wanted to design a journal as a birthday gift for my husband. I used the retired nautical designer series paper as the backdrop for this journal cover. The stamp set is called “Daring Adventure” which was the perfect title for his journal. 🙂 The stamped image is embossed in early espresso and sprinkled with gold embossing powder. I embellished the cover with black taffeta ribbon, neutral glimmer brads, a library clip, and linen thread. I just loved the masculine look to the journal. I hope my husband enjoys it!
