Climbing Mountains

Photo Details

Poster: jkanack

This is for today's sketch, double dare twisted gate fold and yesterday's tea party for Mary Jo's son, John.

I don't have any car, truck or motorcycle images so I decided to go with mountains. I used an old map, cut some mountains, used adventure and encouragement sentiments and a sweet mountain stamp. I did a fold, which is out of my comfort range, although this fold is a snap but I turned the fold on its side so, when closed, the mountains line up in the middle. I hope John gets to visit some mountains soon.

Very nice card for John and or the sketch/fold challenge. Using the map was a great idea and I really like that stamp with the mountains and evergreens - I don't think I own a single mountain stamp...

This may be one of my favorite cards by you, but then I love mountains and trees. I love your creativity in using the map to make the mountains. And that mountain stamp reminds me of the Sierra Club seal. Great dp on some of the folds. Fabulous sentiment/quote. I can imagine how cool this looks when it’s closed. Awesome card.

Love your mountain maps! So creative. Great fold with that dp too, Jean. What could be better than mountains and trees for John!

Love your centre panel with the quote and beautiful image. And those mountain maps - brilliant!!! I nearly used an old map for my background.
