Hello! I had some time for the inspiration challenge today! And I'm actually getting it in well before midnight for a change!
As soon as I saw today's inspiration challenge, I knew I would make something to do with travel...I just didn't realize I'd be traveling BACK in time!
The first thing I thought was travel.
The next thing I thought was traffic.
Which led me to the traffic jam cb folder.
When I negative embossed the paper in teal, it made me think of ancient symbols carved in stone.
That is how I arrived in Ancient Egypt.
It was an interesting trip!
The symbols from left to right refer to the spirit, beauty and love, and life.
Thanks so much for looking at my souvenir!

Very beautiful card. Your trip was long but worth the travel. I have never seen your work here before. It's no surprise there are so many of us mad cardmaking girls!;) Just wanted to say a special hello since we are from about the same area. Expect more comments, I'm off to a visit not in the metropolitain museum of arts , but to your gallery. TFS

Wow, this is so beautiful. I love the patterned paper you used as a card front, the browns and golds in it go so well with the teal on your main images. I have *got* to get me some Egypt stamps! I'm the type that I always watch all the History Channel stuff on Egypt if I can catch it.
