I created this card for three purposes...
- Most importantly as a masculine thank you card - hopefully will be popped in the mail today!
- Hero Arts Monthly Challenge - Travel, Food, and Bookmaking
Here is the inspiration layout to create from
The layout is from Jen Jockisch.
The papers are all from October Afternoon Thrift Shop. Delicious papers. Of course that didnt' stop me from stamping on some of them.
I used the Hero Arts - Friends Definition Cling, Collage Take Time, Antique Map Background and the sentiment is from the Essential Messages Clear set.
The lovely skyline is from B Line Designs called CTD031F Old Neighbors. (Love this stamp and haven't used it enough)
Inks included Ranger Distress (Bundled Sage, Faded Jeans), Versafine Vintage Sepia, Memento Rich Cocoa.
Hope you are gearing up for a lovely weekend. We are going to have a few people over on the 4th to celebrate and looking forward to some inky time!
