Traveller Meets World Map

The ship on this card was going to be in a circle on this base card.
 But I kind if misjudged my paper size then I messed up my inked background. 

Rather than start again, it was a case of how much of my work could I salvage.
Out came the circle dies  and I managed to save enough of my work to to create this corner section. So then I needed to fill the dead space on the card.
What better than the world map background stamp.
 I heat embossed the map with black embossing powder and sponged ink over it with Old olive , Bashful blue and Hello honey  inks. 
Then I  did  the same with the sentiment.

I used very thin foam pads to raise the ship from the background slightly but I stuck the sentiment  directly onto the background with Tombow glue.Then mounted the piece of work onto brown card and then onto my base card of Hello Honey cardstock.

I forgot to say the ship is from the New 2015  Stampin Up Catalogue and the set is called Traveler. Yep!  you read that right,  it is Traveler with One L.
 I do find these spelling differences  very  annoying as I have to remember to spell things wrong.
 You'd think they'd change the spelling for the English market.  
Time to take the dogs out now so Cheerio until next time . LOL.

World Map Card.

Today I went on the Stampin' Up demonstrators web site and came across a card made by Julie Gearinger which I thought  was great. 

(I don't visit the website very often as I know it will take up most of my day.)

 As you have probably know when I come across a card I love I have to have a go at re producing it and today was no exception.
Julie's card  had different background  paper and she used slightly different colour inks. I didn't have all the inks or the paper she used so I had to improvise.
Julie also added hemp string to hers. 
I didn't notice the string on hers immediately and figured if I didn't notice it, maybe other people wouldn't notice it immediately. So I didn't  put it on at all.


Also I didn't distress the edges as much as she did.
Julie has a tutorial on her blog if you would like to  re produce her work shoot over to her blog and take a look. She also has  a large collection of AMAZING card she has made.

 I have to say once my card was finished, I couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed by it.  I  think it feels dark and gloomy rather bright and cheery.
This one is going to my brother I do hope he likes it.
