This is my card for today's challenge. I cased the layout of the card on Page 38. a pretty simple long panel with two layers. I made this card for my friend Julia (artystamper). This is my story:
1. Julia recently took a trip to Ireland and shared four memorable pictures of her trip with me.
2. I wanted to make her a special card and out of the four, a picture of a window and hiking boot flower planter appealed to me the most. This house was in a town where she watched sheep shearing, ate scones and drank tea.
3. One of the other pictures was of Julia kissing the Blarney Stone. A guy has to hold you while you kiss it because if you fall it's 30 feet down. I didn't want to make a card depicting the demise of Julia....besides, I didn't have a Julia stamp.
4. There is lace in the window (cuz the real picture had it) and I used a clear see through report cover for the glass of the window.
5. Getting the hiking boot was made easy by my sister-in-law having two SU camping sets. I borrowed it from her! Whoo Hoo!
6. My husband actually said this might be one of his favorite cards I've made. That is a big deal, believe me, Julia!
EDIT: See the real story in Julia's comment on the first page down at the bottom!
