Loved the charm bracelet, Stef for the IC this week. Reminded me of what a wonderful trip I had with my dear friend last fall to Kauaii...two weeks in paradise with your BF and no DH or DS!!! Perfect jumping off point and take it away I did, or maybe you might say carried away!
I wanted to use this mermaid stamp so my beauty could ponder that lovely time. She is stamped in Old Paper distress ink and embossed in clear. I colored her with watercolor pencils and Twinkling H2o's. I am sad the etheral beauty of her is not more evident in my photograph! I used handmade paper I received as a wonderful surprise from the Queen of techniques, MADDY MASON...gorgeous blue sparkly, shimmery and copper rose colored luscious! My base is from Creative Imaginations: Majah Johnson...a sort of shell collage with shells, word definition, and sand. I sliced in to the paper and inserted the various elements of this collage. My luggage is from SU travel post...I inked it with ColorBox lava black and embossed in clear...it is stamped on parchment cs. The map paper is also by Creative Imaginations, I tore and crumpled it and then inked the edges. I stamped a small plane directly onto it in Vintage Photo distress ink. The compass rose is from the Judikin treasure cube. I stamped it in Versacolor Black and embossed in clear, it is popped on dots. The stamp and cancellation post mark is genuine...bought a bag of old stamps at a flea market (very handy). The sentiment is a rubon from Kathleen Francour: Paper Adventures...I had quite a dickens of a time with rubbing it on to chipboard and even tore the #2...no prob though, just used a label maker for the numeral! I also tucked a sticker behind of one of Hawaii's native fish. The base of my card is SU's bayou blue stamped with the Cheesecloth bg inked with Adirondack's stream. I added a staple here and there and a fancy brad from MM. I used a few more rub-on's to make a tag for Miss Maddy's luggage for this card is heading off to her!
Thank you so much for your generous surprise! And thanks to all who lasted to the bottom of my comments!
