This is my card for IC278. I was about to call it a mishap, but decided to upload before it got worse. My love of antique maps and romance made me choose these nautical chart coasters for inspiration
I started with Marcos Brown Bag Cover, added Basic Grey CS with Victorine Originals map stamped on it. Edges are inked.
Then I stamped and cut out the Stamp Pad sailing ship and popped it up on the map. Added Primas and fiber and chain.
Oh the lady. I stamped her on the map and she didn't show up well enough so she is stamped on mulberry paper and glued on. I think I like the way it looks. How about you?

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
