It's time to link up for the Friday Friends with Flair hop! Wait until you see all the fine work that is being offered for you viewing pleasure this week. I jumped in with a little bit different style than I am use to. It was really fun.
I decided to ink up more stamps from the April KOM, Follow Your Own. The images that are included in this one, just rock! Ivory and red card stock start things off, but then, I found this old, old, scrap of map paper in my bits and pieces bin. I am not sure who made it, but it was screaming t me to stamp directly on it with my onyx black, Versafine. I added some red cording, an epoxy brad, an a few gems. I am still unsure about the inside. I have some old ephemera quotes, and one is about exploring. That might work.
Wow, that was a quick post. Not much going on here in PA. It has been chilly and gloomy the last couple days. Hoping for some sun to start off the weekend. Have a great day!
This is a WOW! What a fun card, love how you stamped all over with the map paper. The colors are wonderful, great job on this one. Hope you get some nice weather for the weekend, we have temps in the 90's, hope that is not a sample of another hot summer.
