This week we are going to put a map on our cards .I started by embossing the map stamp with black embossing powder. Then I brayed with peeled paint and broken china. I computer generated the sentiment. Added some stenciling and matted them. Added the ribbon and bow. Hope you can play along in the challenge.

Linda, I LOVE the combination of these two gorgeous colors, and how you've blended and combined to perfection. You've made the sentiment just pop, and I love all of the black elements that ground the card and the white that draws us into reading the text. Love that stenciling too, it really combines those two colors so effectively. Very elegant card, beautiful bow!!! Into my favorites it goes!
I want to thank you again for all of your hard work notifying everyone on the Favorite of the Week list, it means SO much to make that list, and it was an absolute thrill to find out my card made that list last week. I know it's hours of diligent work to achieve notifying everyone, and I am very grateful.
Again, what a gorgeous card!!! You make it look so easy, I want to try this--SO inspiring!!!

Linda, this sentiment is so perfect with your world map and your colors are awesome. I should head to the stamp room and see what I can create to fit this theme.
