I started by digging out an old scrap of DP with a map of England on it (took me about a half hour to find it). Glued the DP paper to Cardstock with my Xyron. Cut my SB/Fern and MB/Butterfly, then sponged them with Distress ink. Sponged another scrap of the map, punched three dots and die cut the TL/sentiment. Placed on ivory CS embossed with LC/Chain, then matted on a very dark green

Very cool looking card! Incorporating the map into the die cuts is a creative take on the challenge. The coloring you did with distress inks is so pretty - and those matching dots are the best! Nicely done! TFS

Look at this amazing creation. I love that you used an old map for your die cuts (I've hunted high and low for items that I've wanted to use...knowing they were around SOMEWHERE...lol). They turned out magnificently.
