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

All these maps and globes are making me dream of hot summer holidays... think I might have to go and turn the heating up!
