going places...

I found this great challenge on SCS for MFT stamps

(MFTWTG18) if you don't have "ride 'em cowgirl"

you can use any WTG set BUT you had to use Red, white & Blue in honour of the inauguration in the States. Well I don't have "ride 'em cowgirl" SO I called "Going Places" before my BFF could :) Yep you have to be fast when we are on the phone planning cards!

I used the mojo monday week 70 layout for this card - so I managed to do 2 challenges YEAH!!

The image is stamped with Memento black on Gina K Pure Luxury paper and coloured with copics, I did stamp her dress in Riding Hood Red and paper pieced.

The DS paper is SU's Riding Hood Red, and the blue is SU's Pacific Point - I love the bright blue with this red.

I used my nesties for the circle, and the card base is Gina K's 120lb Pure Luxury. I really like it as a base but have found you HAVE to score the fold then gently crease it otherwise you may not have a clean fold.

I did have to add some colour to the land on the map; didn't think it would look right with white or red! The water is coloured with copics then I added blue pearlescent watercolours to give it some shine.

For the labels on the suitcase I stamped the image on Gina K 120lb Pure Luxury and paper pieced them, for small white images this is great to use because it is thick and easy to handle

Thanks for stopping by - have a great Wednesday, we are on our last warm day for awhile; winter temps are back on their way tomorrow
