Please don’t forget to click the Next button at the bottom to continue on the hop with Christine’s blog.  Now, let me share with you the card I created.

One of my favorite outdoor activities is to hike.  I just love to be outside and in nature.  I love to explore new places also.  I thought the sentiment was perfect.
I used Pool Play Cardstock for the base of my card.  The first layer is Kiwi Slice Cardstock and I added texture by going direct to paper with Kiwi Slice ink.
I then die cut a Journey Circle from Whip Cream Cardstock and took the Rich Sorbet PanPastels and used the Denim Days color to make the soft blue background.  I adhered this piece to the card using foam squares on only half.
Next, I stamped the backpack and boots from the Adventure Awaits set in Cocoa Powder ink on Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock.  I detail cut these out, colored a few pieces with colored pencils and added Gold Silk to the boot eyelets.  I add these pieces with foam squares.
I then stamped the sentiment from Adventure Awaits on a Whip Cream Cardstock Journey Circle with the piercing elements.
To finish the card, I added some Journey Natural Twine, the arrow die from Border Details in Black Licorice Cardstock with Journey Glaze and some Rainbow Drops.  Enjoy!

  13. i enjoy the fact that your base card is blue not white -- not the first thing one notices about the card but it sets off your front panels so well! so many creative aspects to this card -- it is an inspiration. Great sentiment too (though part of me thinks it could go with an image of a microscope too and not just refer to hiking and traveling LOL!)

    1. I agree SuseADoodle. It would be a great sentiment for a microscope card. Thank you.
