CAGI Travel

Our challenge this week at Come and Get It is themed around Travel, so where would you go?

 

I went searching in my stash for an image and found a wonderful dream image of Paris.  Ahh the City Of Love.

 

I am not sure who made the image and I don’t think I have used it before but I thought it was perfect for my card. 

 

I also stamped the En Francais image on the Perfect Plum cardstock in Perfect Plum ink and again in Crumb Cake on the Crumb Cake cardstock and layered them up.

 

Here is my card

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: En Francais, Paris Image (unknown company)
Card: Pool Party, Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar
Accessories:  Pearls, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I really like the dreamy look of the lady in the image, she seems so far away in her thoughts.

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

 

Sweet Stampin Challenge – Journeys, Travel or Destinations

Crafts 4 Eternity Challenge – Time to Go

Patties Creations Challenge - #74 Anything Goes

QKR Stampede Challenge – #52 Anything Goes

Christmas Winter Sports

We are in Christmas Sports mode over at Holly Jolly this week.

 

We want to see your Christmas creations with winter sport theme.  Our Christmas sports here in Australia are no where close to Winter mode, so I placed the Surfing Santa image on the shelf and have gone ice skating instead.

 

I have used our sponsor’s image called Winter Birds Skate.  The paper is from a retired paper stack that I found and thought the colour just made the card very bright and cheerful.

 

The layout for my card was inspired by the Layout and Unscripted Sketches Flashback Summer Sketch #69.

 

Here is my card

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: More Merry Messages, Bugaboo Winter Birds Skate
Card: Real Red, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Ink: Real Red
Accessories:  Water Colour Pencils, Window Frames Collection. Red Glitter Paper, Snow Flurry Die, Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, Decorative Label Punch, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

Looks like he is cruising through a winter snow storm.
