travel, explore,discover.....

well a very different card for me!! no backing paper, no pink and not even girly!!!
decided it was time to have a little change ~so ordered some wonderful stamps , paper packs, and tags from crafty individuals, for a creative challenge to myself ~not sure if i have carried it off , but great fun losing myself in the art of it!!
over on ONE STOP CRAFT CHALLENGE ~ they have asked for a creation which is ~"make it personal"~ so here is a 40th birthday card for my brother-in-law, who is spending his birthday in london next weekend~ as you can see i have used images and stamps of london land marks and added the month and london wording . vellum, brads, string and photo frames from my stash...and no glitter!!
hope you are having a wonderful weekend ~now time to watch the tennis!!
