For this week's CAS challenge, I had to think outside the box. I don't really have any travel stamps but I do have this map background stamp. I inked this up and set it with the heat gun first. Then I lightly spritzed it with water and shook on the green and blue Brusho powders. I sprayed more water over the top, added more powder where needed, more water, more powder, more water until I had a nice vibrant saturation in my paper. I let it sit for about an hour and then I dried it with my heat gun. There are times I glance at this and think it looks like I cut it out of an old atlas book, so I declare this to be one of my more proud experiments with Brushos! LOL

Holly, this card is wonderful, and it really has a look of an old Atlas. Love those colors!

My first thought was "great DSP" and I am in awe that you MADE this! The mottled colors are gorgeous and the simple twine embellishment the perfect ending.
