Welcome to The
Card Concept #147 {Dare To Dream} Challenge!
This week our Design Team has outdone themselves- so many beautiful cards and different styles/interpretations- we hope you will check it out!
Don't you think that this room looks like a wonderful place to study, journal, and/or create! So peaceful but I would need a bit more desk space for sure :-)
Also, I absolutely love all the different globes, the
tones of brown on the suitcases as well as the overall vintage feel. The combination of all of this inspired my Shabby and Vintage card!
Again, if you have not had a chance to visit The
Card Concept or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration
from all!
For the background
panel- distress the edges of a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of the Vintage
Emporium designer paper and mount it onto a piece of espresso cardstock.
Cut another horizontal
piece of the ledger design from the Vintage
Emporium paper, distress the edges and mount onto espresso cardstock,
distressing the edges. Adhere to the
background panel.
Die cut a piece of
the world
map design from the Vintage
Emporium paper pack using one of the larger outside ovals from the Hemstitch
Oval Dies and lightly distress the edges.

Adhere the map oval die cut directly to the background panel.
Add the ribbon slide to a piece of sage twill ribbon and adhere to the card front (wrapping the edges of the sage ribbon behind the panel).
Add the three antique
brads to the panel before mounting the entire panel to the white card base.
De-static a piece of vanilla
cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Give Thanks
using Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with
a heat tool.
Once cooled, die cut
with the Fishtail Sentiments Banner Dies (also die cutting another one from espresso
cardstock). Cut the espresso die cut in
half, layer behind the sentiment layer.
Use a sponge dauber
to apply antique linen distress ink to the edges and mount onto the card front
using dimensional foam (or chipboard) to finish off the card.

What a beauty! Love the old-world distressed look! Very well done!
Wow, so beautiful, Julie! Love that old world look, and the pretty buckle for the ribbon! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
Julie, what a GREAT card! I'm a collector of globes myself, so your card caught my attention right away! Love all the vintage colors and patterns, too. Thank you for joining us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday and sharing not only your great card, but your creative talents, too!!! -Donna
