ADVENTURE & DISCOVERY

Ans I planned my card making for this week, I realised that the SILHOUTTE SCENES STAMP SET and coordinating SWEET SILHOUETTES DIES have been sitting on my shelves, unused, for far too long.

Of all the images, the three depicting children and their search are my favourites. For me, they represent the innocent search for new understanding. One child uses binoculars to seek something out … another child points toward the sky, space or the stars … and the last child, holds a plane mesmerised by the concept of flight.

I believe inquiry and learning are essential to lifelong learning and that is such an amazing ADVENTURE.

I used a piece of PLAYING WITH PATTERNS 6″x 6″ DSP as a mat layer on top of the card base. Before I adhered it down, I attached a length of Night of Navy Ribbon from the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY.

The images of the three children were stamped and heat embossed using Versamark and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, onto Night of Navy A4 Cardstock.

I used the PAINTED LABELS DIES to die cut each image.

The ADVENTURE sentiment comes from the SWEET SILHOUETTE DIES and was die cut twice – FOAM ADHESIVE SHEETS were attached to Night of Navy cardstock and one was adhered to the second, giving lots of height.

On the card insert, I stamped the Thoreau quote – ‘Go confidently in the direction of your dreams’.

On the envelope, I stamped the image of the child using binoculars.

I cannot been that I haven’t used this set before. I am beginning to plan other ways to use it.

Who would you give this card to?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
