The Traveler – Celebrating You

Happy Saturday…Welcome back! 

A few deadlines and a several complimentary challenges: As You See It (#300) with the theme Adventure; Tic Tac Toe (#211) with a line that includes a Travel theme, a Die-Cut and something Antique; and choosing masculine Sepia tones for Paper Craft Crew (#522) Masculine theme; bringing it all together with the current sketch from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday (#608).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Early Espresso cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5¼” x 3⅞”) Pecan Pie cardstock die-cut with the Large Rectangle die from the On-Line Exclusive Radiating Stitches Dies set.
• Focal Panel: (4⅛” x 2¾”) Crumb Cake cardstock.
  • The corners were punched with retired Corner Rounder Punch.
  • The Passenger List image from the retired The Open Sea stamp set was stamped on the left side with 2^nd Generation Pecan Pie ink (stamped off once).
  • The Steam Train image from the retired Traveler stamp set was stamped with Copper Clay ink.
• Decoration: Globe and Passport: Naturals Ivory cardstock (from my scrap bin) and Very Vanilla cardstock.
  • The Globe image from the retired The Open Sea stamp set was stamped with Pecan Pie ink and then die-cut with the (2”) Stitched Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
  • The Passport image from the retired Traveler stamp set was stamped with 2^nd Generation Copper Clay ink and then fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
• Sentiment Flag: (1½” x ⅝”) Early Espresso cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Celebrating You Today, from the Beside Me stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
  • The sentiment was hand-flagged with Paper Snips.
• All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble a version of the sketch.

It would have been a big adventure to travel in the days of the Steam Trains but what great fun it must have been.
