For the summer vacation challenge from Monday, one of the images I pinned from the Inspiration site from Saturday reminded me that my ideal vacation would be to time travel to the era before airplane travel to Europe and take one of those cool old ocean liners:
I was digging through a bag of collage stuff I saved eons ago and found a thick pile of vintage pinup girl images from a page a day calendar I had many years ago. I was just looking for postal and vintage travel images but found this fabulous pinup and decided to build my card around it. I trimmed some black cardstock just a little larger and mounted the image on it. I made a card base from tan cardstock and layered on a piece of navy DSP from a set that was all ocean and beach imagesâ¦..I canât remember the name of it, sorry, but it was discontinued this past year.Anyway I glued that to the card front and added a shipping label sticker and old postage stamp in opposite corners, then attached the main image at an angle, using foam tape.
I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink on the main image. Probably the last hurrah from the stamp as it has gotten very old and brittle, sob.
