Sending more love around the world

When I was making this little card I showed you yesterday, I started thinking about different images to use that wonderful sentiment with. I came up with this:


Doesn't the sentiment fit in well with this fabulous map image from Stampin' Up's The Open Sea stamp set?! And it would work brilliantly with World Map too! I used the lush in-colour Coastal Cabana for the card base and inked the map up in the same colour (don't you just love matching ink and card stock?!) Once the map stamp was inked up I tapped a Garden Green marker over it to vary the colour a little.


Here's a close up showing the image which was pasted it onto the card base. To frame it in a dimensional way, I cut an aperture into the top panel with one of the circle framelits, and used dimensionals to pop it up. The sentiment was stamped into one of the Itty Bitty Banners frames, which you can cut out using the coordinating framelits, and I added a tiny textured heart, cut out using the Owl punch.

Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: The Open Sea, Love You More (sentiment), Bitty Banners
Ink: Midnight Muse, Coastal Cabana classic ink plus Garden Green marker
Card stock: Coastal Cabana, Whisper White plus scrap of Real Red core'dinations
Other: Circle and Itty Bitty Banner framelits, Owl builder punch (for the heart), stamp-a-majig

  2. If you want a hot summer holiday, you'd better come to Australia. On a cloudless summer day, Sydney Harbour is glorious! My English penfriend came to visit three summers ago (to a heatwave) and loved it. The bonus was we got to meet each other for the first time ever, now it's my turn to visit her!
