Welcome to my blog. Today I am so happy to be participating in Kylie's International Blog Highlights for June and the theme is encouragement.
The best bit about this Highlight is that you can vote for your favourite five projects in the gallery. At the end of the voting the top ten winners will get the chance to be part of an international blog hop later this month. I would love to take part in the hop so I would really appreciate it if you would visit the gallery and vote for my card.
My card uses some wonderful new products from the new catalogue, which you can order from 4th June 2019. I have used some elements from the fabulous Come Sail Away Suite. The sentiment seems apt for this Highlight and would be perfect for an adventure to foreign lands or indeed the daily journey through life.
The Balmy Blue card base is over stamped with the compass image in matching ink to add that something extra without the addition of any extra layers. I created a frame, using the Stitched Rectangle dies, from Soft Suede card to surround the Designer Series Paper so that I made a picture! The lighthouse and sentiment are both stamped using Soft Suede ink on to the luxurious Shimmery White card. The detail in the dies is superb - the ship's wheel has lovely texture and the label has a stitched edge (I love the stitched edge!).
The decorative elements reinforce travel and adventure - the Lighthouse throws a beacon of light, the ship's wheel steers you on your way, the compass guides and the anchor keeps you safe. This suite is definitely going to be well loved!
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you approve of my card and that you'll visit the gallery and vote for me!
