CTC #2 : STAMPIN' UP! WORLD MAP

There's a fabulous new challenge site, called CASE-ing the Catty, which I have been itching to play along with since its inception last week.  I wasn't organised enough to join in the first round, but this week's challenge suits me really well.

The challenge is to draw inspiration from the Stampin' Up! catalogue - this week, it's from the Memory Keeping section of the catalogue, from pages 24-41.  I was immediately drawn to a project (below) on page 38 of our Aus/NZ catalogue - a great colour combo of Night of Navy, Soft Sky and Crumb Cake.  The use of the World Map stamp, and Tiny Triangles embossing folder, also appealed to me.




I've made a card for my intrepid niece, who's about to head off to Spain to study for 7 months.  She will be away for her 21st birthday, and for Christmas, which is a bit sad for us - but hopefully she'll be making some awesome memories on her overseas adventure!  Here's what I've made for Em:




Stamps: World Map, World of Dreams, Be the Star
Card: Night of Navy, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Naturals Ivory
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento inkpad, Soft Sky and Crumb Cake stampin' pads
Other: On Film Framelits, Hearts border punch, Itty Bitty accents punch, 2" Circle punch, Regals candy dot and Candy Dot brad base, Natural Cotton Ribbon, Tiny Triangles embossing folder, sponge dauber

  5. Hi Christine. I really LOVE all the different elements you used on your card and how you used the pic as an inspiration for your own design - just gorgeous. Love the heart border as an added extra. Thank you so much for kicking off the second CASE-ing the Catty Challenge.
