Travelling somewhere exotic...and a little out of my comfort zone! :) This card is a sample for Edna's Dare To Get Dirty Challenge today! It's a fun one so be sure to check it out. For me - this card sort of took on a life of it's own. Once I started I didn't know where to stop. :)
I wanted to make something that looked very old world and masculine, so I pulled out my Ranger Distress Inks and just went a little crazy. I incorporated two Flourishes sets, Antique Map and the new Moments in Time set. I wanted to give the feel of a very distressed map background with a rolled up edge, so I stamped the map in Vintage Photo Distress ink, then crinkled up the paper, and then just took lots of other Distress ink colors to sponge, rub on and distress. Then I added the various map and time images over top.
I rolled up the corner and tied it through with some twine adding the peek-aboo fancy brad underneath. Then I thought a little punched border (Martha Stewart Quilt Edge) would look nice too.
So....out of my comfort zone, but fun to play. I hope you can join us in the DTGD Challenges. If you're not yet a Fan Club member there's still time to join!

I have always loved old maps, don't know what it is about them, this is very cool and I love the touch of rolling up the corner!
Very very cool masculine card.
