THANK YOU so much

My album of our wonderful trip arrived today! I decided to make one printed album as we had over 2700 photos to choose from - I think I picked about 524 and the album ended up being 132 pages.  (I will be making scrapbook pages of the really special photos.) I made this card to go with the album to thank my husband for a dream come true.

I first painted the background with watercolours. I stamped the map and travel icons in brown, and the rest in black. I stamped the Thank You with Versamark ink and embossed in white. I added black shadow lines to make it stand out more.


I will enter this in the Simon Says Stamp Make your Background challenge, the Just Us Girls Water Color challenge and the Inkspirational Flight Challenge.

Just a taste of our trip .... Edinburgh for my daughter's Graduation



Off to Italy ... Rome, Florence & Tuscany ...




A last stop in Venice ...


Glorious last night!

    So much to comment on --- your card is quite fabulous - love the water colored bg with the muti stamping -- also that you are giving it to your DH for a great trip! That is so wonderful - [we do forget to thank our DH's sometimes...] - I also love your idea of the 'book" for your trip -- a lifetime keepsake! Thanks for joining in with JUGS!
