Happy Travels

Hello!  I am back as promised with another unused digital image from my files.  This one is by From The Hearts called  Happy Travels.  I am glad to have these lovely digital images in my files as this artist is no longer with us.  I printed the image and sentiment in black ink on Cream Cardstock and colored with Black, Brown, and Cream Copics.  I created the brick background ( inspired by the photo) using my Scor-pal and sponging with DOI Vintage Photo. The brown ink took on a  orangey cast on the cream CS? Added a die cut tag from the cream CS embellished with  stickers and a bit of string. Attached the image to a black card base to finish.   Guess the style of the card leans more to clean and layered even though I gave the luggage a vintage look.
Challenges:
The Card Concept: #121 Adventure Awaits. Second entry.  Just had to use this image of stacked suitcases in a card.
ModSquad Challenge: Use 3 colors Black, Brown, and Cream on a card plus a tag.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Ready for a Trip

Welcome to a rainy day in the studio!  A couple of challenges brought to mind some digital images that I have never used.  This card uses one of them -the Tiddly Inks image of Suitcases which was a freebie.  I thought it would be perfect for the ModSquad challenge to use only 3 colors black, brown, and cream plus a tag.  All suitcases need some type of tag and most are brown or black??  I printed the image on a cream card stock with black ink of course. I colored the images with Brown and Black Copics and sponged the edges with DOI Antique Oxide and Vintage Photo.  This gave an antique look to the stack of luggage. Added some texture with Glossy Accents to the corners and latches. I die cut a couple of tags in the cream CS and added some stickers from Imaginations (in my stash).  Attached the tags with a Brown Brad.  Also added a sticker to the side of the locker.  Finished with a mat of brown and card base of black, both card stocks from GKD. I would call this Clean and Simple style. 

I'll be back later with another image that I remembered in my digital files.

Challenge:

ModSquad Challenge: Gail asked us to create a card with only 3 colors-black, brown, and cream plus add a tag.

The Card Concept: #121  Adventure Awaits. Inspired by the luggage and colors in the photo. Did not realize that I have use the same image as Susan on the DT until I posted this.
