Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a masculine card. Somehow I bought the Places You'll Go Stamp Set and never used it! Que horror! Thankfully I grabbed it to make a fun around the world adventure card. I was going to just stamp the globe, but then I decided to make a simple watercolor background. From there I found a great simple pattern paper to layer. The card was still missing a bit of something, so I added a great embossed piece of Island Indigo cardstock and some fun gold metallic shapes.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a teacher appreciation card. I pulled out this pre-stamped Sheltering Tree scene and started adding to it. I was originally going to place the sentiment in the white space, but then decided that the washi tape was too plain by itself. Adding a few butterflies was the right call. The layering piece of Urban Underground reminds me of a chalkboard so I had to add it.
