This is my card for Misti's VSN challenge - she kicks off our world tour by taking us to the Victoria Falls in Zambia. I took my inspiration for the image panel from the silhouetted forest against the sky - and then ran out time trying to think how to include the waterfall itself. I told myself to stop overthinking, I had been inspired by the photo and didn't have to interpret it literally! So I added a sympathy sentiment, because it's always good to have a couple of cards in the stash, and simply embossed a base layer and added a little sparkle to it - so I did sort of pick up on the water effect ;-). I was trying to work in some wife organza ribbon with sparkle, but it just made the card top-heavy and too fussy, even if it was perfect for a curtain of falling water.

Sabrina this is absolutely beautiful. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what inspired you and what destination it is for. I know what you mean about overthinking the waterfall LOL. Everything about this is wonderful and I bet it looks even more special in real life with the beautiful shimmery background.

Love your beautiful skyline on this Sabrina. Oh this is amazing and I am so glad you did not over work it with the waterfalls as this is just perfect where you finished it.
