I made this card on Saturday (before my shoulder flared up) after going to a fab Docrafts demo with Beckie Dreyer who's always so inspirational. I just had to treat myself to a set of the new travel themed Urban stamps which are a lovely assortment of travel destinations, tickets and greetings. I simply made the card blank by cutting down the front of a 6x6 blank and matching the papers so that when closed, it looks like a flat fronted card. The main image and the ticket have both been stamped in black onto cream cardstock.
The papers I've used are Papermania book print. Mum bought the pack and gave me half, thanks Mum! I've added some colour with Distress Ink in Old Paper and Antique Linen.
I decided to keep it all quite neutral with just the addition of black cardstock and kraft card, some of which has a squared design on, again all Papermania. I added a bit of texture to the circle of kraft with a Tim Holtz for Sizzix embossing folder and sanded for a distressed feel.
The punched border was done with a Martha Stewart punch, such a handy one for so many occasions.
I've added to the vintage look with some Distress Stickles in Frayed Burlap and finished the card with a few black gems and some book print Candi.
I'm entering this card in the following challenge -
The Deconstructed Sketch - #42 - sketch
Gingersnap Creations - #142 - use a border punch
