Card Recognition

some journeys...



I've just put together a card order for a friend's mom and one of the cards she wanted was this one, but I  didn't have another one of the American Crafts stickers so after putting on my thinking cap, I used one of my photos from our recent Africa trip and hand wrote the sentiment on top with vellum.  365 Cards is having a "that looks familiar" challenge this week and I think this project fits that challenge pretty well, plus it works perfectly for the 365 Cards Picture This challenge.  And I've got TWO fun giveaways this week, one on yesterday's card post and another on my work blog (look for the fabulous hand made necklace from a new local shop)... I love giving things away.

Materials: American Crafts stickers, recycled map, Coredinations card stock, PTI cream card stock, vellum, personal photo, Sharpie black pen, Fiskars corner rounder, My Favorite Things scallop die,  Tim Holtz distress ink antique linen
