Hi Y'all.....happy Friday!!! 3 More days of hunting season and then I get my husband back....woohooo!! My Father wanted me to make a card for a friend he hasn't seen in many years. Well now....a thinking of you card...to a man....from a man...I could feel my hair frizzin on this one!!! BUT, I think I pulled it off and I hope you agree! I decided to do an Across the Miles, thinking of you card.Since his friend lives in Maine and we are here in Alabama, I selected 50 States for a starting point.I went to my PC Crafters Hug Bug Club and retrieved some graphics I had bought a few years ago when John Allen went to Europe.I found the perfect paper...a lil road trip paper for the BG and map paper for the states. The round atlas is from PC Crafters as well and Debbie Mumm is the artist.I cut the states at 2 inches, made multiple layers and inked all around everything.I embossed the BG paper using a Fiskars plate and I did it multiple times at all angles to give it a road map kinda feel.( you cant even see it...grrrr ) I did some poppin and added the brads and now my hair isn't all frizzled anymore! Wheeeeh this was a tough one for me but I like the way it evolved!! Thanks so much for stopping by...have a great weekend!!!
