Taylor gave us a fun sketch today. I did alter the sketch to an A2 size and changed the oval shape to my funky shape.
My image is by Hampton Arts Stamps, and colored with copies. The stamp is much larger, but I decided to cut it down and do the "out of the box" technique.
Thanks so much for looking, and I sure hope you like it

GORGEOUS, Barb! Love your image and the way you have colored it. Really a fabulous "Bon Voyage" card with today's sketch. You really have such a distinctive style with these "Ragtime Era" cards.

This is AWESOME! Your out of the box lady is wonderful..had to include that passport for sure..I love the old bellows style camera image and the striped paper is so right for this time period..really classic!
You did a marvelous job with the sketch and technique. Love the sophistication of your card. Also, thanks for mentioning the out of the box technique. I have seen this done on many cards but didn't know how it was done. After viewing your post I found a video on this technique and can't wait to try it.

Like it? Are you kidding? This is absolutely awesome as could be! Great colors, great layering, pretty sponging and beautifully done out of the box technique! I've never tried it, it looks too difficult, but yours looks perfect!
