Travel

Hello All,

For today I will playing with CASE this Sketch, Less is More and CASology. Here is my card for today, Enjoy!

I used designer paper road map for the background. Used white
lightly textured cardstock for the foreground.
A monochromatic design.
 
Left: Masked the area where the other white should be located (lower right). 
Then sponged with Vintage Photo to create a visual line. Added to the 'travel' sentiment with 'Life Imagined' sentiment. Stamped the globe for some visual interest.
Right: Decided to leave the edges hanging over the card. Meaning there aren't any limits when you are 'off' the map. 


      "Less is More"

Oh how I would love to travel today! Our home's plumbing system backed up last night for no apparent reason! I went to the basement and was greeted with an inch of water on our cement floor.. Luckily, it didn't flow into the finished side of the basement. Phew.. I guess in times like these it is good to look at the bright side of things. My husband and I are waiting for the plumber and he should be here in a few so I should scoot off.

Thank you so much for joining me yet again at TheGrandStampede. I do appreciate your visits and comments if you feel so inclined. Take care all and by the next post all will good.. 

All the best,
Shawna

Oh this is a good one...Absolutely love the idea of leaving one of the quarters without the white textured card and then using inks and stamps instead, really inspirational. Such a clean and clever card....pinning this one! Love it!!! x

I love your men's card! I do not know how you do it, but with the ease of creating them! And they are always so beautiful. For me the card for a man to acquire Mount Everest
