A Travel Themed Card

Hey friends! Today’s card is an exciting one for me as I’ve recently joined the design team at Addicted to CAS: The Clean and Simple Challenge. I’ve really come to love clean and simple cards, thanks to my crafty friend, Nancy.

Addicted to CAS has a new challenge every second Saturday. You’re welcome to check it out here:  Addicted to CAS Each challenge features a code word which is the inspiration for your card. We’d love to have you play along with us! This week’s code word is TRAVEL.

My husband and I love to travel! There’s just something exciting about experiencing another culture – the people, the flora and fauna, the architecture, the food – there’s always something new to learn about. I see so much beauty in diversity, and I believe we can all learn from each other if we’re open.

For this card, I used this stamp that features famous buildings in Paris. It is the French Chic stamp set by Crafter’s Companion. I lined the stamp and card up in my MISTI and stamped it with Memento tuxedo black ink. I coloured the images with Ohuhu markers, then stamped over it again using VersaFine Clair nocturne ink to give those crisp, black lines. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz collection with Stampers Anonymous. I think it is called THMM113. At least that’s what I see on the package.

My husband, Mike, and I definitely love to take the scenic route when we travel. We love exploring. When we go on a road trip, we love to take different routes there and back so we can see new things. We have yet to go to Paris, but one day hopefully we’ll go there, and I can see these buildings in person.

I hope you’ll check out this challenge and consider playing along. Until next time, enjoy life wherever it takes you and if you’re up for some adventure, consider taking the scenic route.
