When I saw TCP's inspiration challenge (#206), I immediately thought of some Primas papers I had in my stash. The red and blue combo and the letter and stamp images were perfect to match the inspiration piece. I looked through my TCP stamps and selected the bunny in the hot air balloon to match the traveling theme.
The design was based on the Pals Paper Arts sketch #133. I framed the patterned paper with red baker's twine using eyelets in each corner to anchor the twine. The "pack your bags" stripe was cut directly from the patterned paper and framed on each side with the red pleated ribbon sold in the Occasions mini.
The sentiment reads, "It's your day" and was embossed with navy powder on Confetti White cardstock, then I used stamp edge deco scissors to cut off the end, and I colored the letters with my Lucky Limeade marker. Then, I created a stamp out of cardstock with the 1'' Square punch and the Stamp punch to add underneath, and I wrapped the sentiment stripe around the baker's twine.
I added a jumbo button on the hot air balloon and stamped a post mark (from the Winter Post set) on the edge of the card.
Hope you like it! TFL!
