Toni is our hostess for the WTUI challenge this week - I had great fun making this as a sample for her challenge, which you'll be able to find HERE.
I knew I wanted to use this Linus stamp, so I started out by creating a background...painted the card with gesso, then stamped a map background and a grid (masking off the compass rose to keep it more visible). Then I wiped acrylic paints over it. At this point I decided to include the gate and not worry about having the map as a prominent feature, so I die-cut the gate and fitted Linus in beside it. Stamped some grass and stencilled the stars, then matted it onto gold and black. I found some free clipart for the padlock. I erased the keyhole and replaced it with a question mark, then shrank it down to a suitable size, cut out and tied on with twine.
The open gate can be seen HERE.
