The project I want to share with you all today is one that I made for a co-worker. Her last day at work was Jan. 30th and I really wanted to send her off well. She is going to travel with a friend for 4 months around South America so I thought it perfect to use the World Map stamp.
My inspiration for this card came from Stampin' With Paula , but I changed up a few things. Well, now that I think about it, I just changed one thing. If you want to check out the original, click here.
The map itself is coloured using Aqua Painters with Pool Party and Pear Pizazz ink. I used Whisper White card stock which curls with the water from the aqua painters to give it a nice antique feel. Just be careful you don't go crazy with the colouring as the card stock will peel and start to break apart. The other tip I have for you is when you are inserting the brad through the sentiment, ribbon and map piece, use the Paper Piercing Tool to create a hole first. You can also use something sharp just to get the hole started.
I got everyone on our team to sign the card then passed it to her when we were at lunch at Japanese Village. To top it off we got Starbucks on the way back to work. What a perfect way to send her off!
Bon Voyage Emily!
