Be A Traveler

Hello all!  I think it's about time we had another one for the guys today, don't you?  I started this one by embossing my background on Aqua card using one of the That Special Touch masks called Maskmap.  I used a light inking of Broken China through the mask to accentuate it a bit.  I stamped the Journey background in Coffee Archival ink and distress ed the edges.  I ripped the image down the right hand side and mounted it on top of the embossed background.  I stamped the car stamp from the Explore Vintage Labels Four set by Justrite in coffee archival and stamped it again without re-inking for a faded look.  I stamped over that one with an Aqua Adirondack ink to give it a slightly different tone. I added some of the wording in Aqua ink as well.   I die cut pieces of both images using varying sizes of circle dies and matted them with slightly larger chestnut brown circles.  I mounted them in the centre of the card .  I wrapped some pastel Bakers Twine around the card and tied it.  In the lower corner, I added my sentiment on a small flag tag.  I distressed all the edges with my scissors before matting it on milk card.  I added my final chestnut brown mats and finished with Choco brown PVA glue dots all the way around the edge of the card.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 7 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
