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

Seashell Background

Hello!  I am back with another nautical theme card using a sketch from the challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I made the background for the card using Spellbinders Impressabilities Sea Scape as a stencil using Distress Oxide ink on White CS Panel. The seashells pattern was inspired by the Mood Board from Double D Nautical Challenge. I used a textured blue CS as the card base and a rectangle  of the same CS to mat the Sentiment stamped in DOI Faded Jean on a die cut oval of white CS.  To keep in the nautical theme, for an embellishment, I added a Lighthouse button with "white rope". 

Challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches: #461 Sketch

Double D Challenges: Nautical.  Inspired by Seashells and colors in Mood Board.

The Paper Girls Challenge: #155 Buttons.  Used another of my buttons from stash of decorative Sea buttons. 

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