life-journey.jpg Suprise, suprise!

I was so not going to do today’s challenge.  Not because it’s uncool or anything, but i have a really busy day ahead.  Then I saw the challenge.  I have a large stack of pictures taken in Colorado that I never know what to do with… well I think I found the perfect one!

Here’s what I did… first layer (River rock) is cut with my rotary cutter, giving it a neat edge.. then I took a piece of Hambly grid acetate and popped that over the top.  My main image is popped on top of that.  A whole lotta dimension going on here :)

I’m pleased as punch how it turned out.  I adore these colors together :)   I think this would make a great card for a man going on a journey (trip).

Here’s my deets:

Stamps: Sentiment by Delta

Colors: Basic Gray, Basic Black, River Rock, hambly grid acetate

Ink: White craft

Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, photo, hole punch

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!

Love the saying on the card! How true it is!! Picture reminds me of Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island - some really old growth trees there and you get to drive right through the middle of it - incredible beauty, thats for sure. Glad you played today. Have a great day.
