At the Catered Crop Recipe Swap they are Accentuating the Negative this week … creating cards featuring negative space. When I saw this week's CAS(E) This Sketch, I knew I had the perfect combination.
Yesterday while I was out running errands, I stumbled upon an Estate Sale. Estate Sales were new to me when I moved to Iowa … they literally put a price tag on everything in a person's house from boxes of silverware to bottles of shampoo to closets filled with clothes … and you walk through the house getting a glimpse into their past life. Some of my favorite finds are scrapbooks, boxes of cards … and of course, books and vintage papers.
Yesterday I found a small atlas filled with colorful maps … I used a page of the Iowa map for my card design. I attached it to cardstock for some thickness, and then attached both layers to the card front with foam tape for dimension.
The stamps are the Geotagged Set from Mama Elephant. I added a few punched hearts to finish the design.
Love, love, love your use of a map on this fabulous card – and somehow the fact that it has a history makes it more fabulous than a printed DP !
Also love the lilac stamping 🙂
Thanks so much for the lovely comment on my blog x
