Traveler Meets World Map 2

Okay,  so I am going to be really boring now and post the train version of my Traveller  meets World Map. I have to say I found this train very difficult to colour without losing the  definition. I think it took five or six attempts before I got one I was happy with. I found I got the best results colouring in with Copic markers rather than my SU markers. 

For the steam I used a white gel pen.


The stamp sets used were all from Stampin' up:
Traveler  for the train,
World Map,
Age awareness,  for the sentiments,

An unknown brand 
Small foliage stamp to stamp trees.


Card stock:
Hello Honey,
whisper white,
Brocade blue

Ink,
Summer sun,  But you could use Hello Honey or Crushed Curry 
Bashful Blue,
Old Olive,

Additional Tools
Sponge daubers,
black embossing powder,
heat tool, 

A selection of green and grey  Copic Markers 
and white gel pen for the train and grass.
A selection of beige and brown markers for  gravel and track.

And here's a shot of the insert.  again the sentiments are from the Age awareness stamp set.

Travel Themed Wedding Invitations





If you are regular reader of my blog, you may remember a while back I was asked to come up with some ideas for a travel theme wedding invitation. 
Well, after a discussion with the bride here's what we decided on.

Making 60 of these is  the reason I haven't   posted anything my blog for a while.




A passport style  cover  (which was hot foiled in silver.)  with  an insert with pockets,  to put  the luggage tag RSVP and a boarding pass invitation in.

The colour  chosen is S.U 's Marina mist card stock  and ink.

A whole host of stamp sets were used for this creation.

The motorcycle, artistic etchings, open sea, feeling sentimental and The world map background stamp.
Other tools sponges, corner rounding punch

After printing of the  passes and tags I masked off the front  to keep it clean while working on the back . 
Then randomly stamped the back of each pass and tag,   then  sponged the edges.


Then I removed the mask and  softly sponged and stamped the front. 

The above photo shows how I cut the card to make the pockets
