Firstly thank you so much for your lovely feedback on my tag, it has boosted me no end. As has being chosen for the top three at Simon Says Stamp and Show, a really lovely surprise.
The lovely Yvonne has chosen the current challenge at FSC, Planes, Trains and Automobiles. My card is of a young adventure seeking couple, who having saved hard for their first ever car, dream of travelling and exploring the world together.
I hope you will join us at FSC for this fortnights challenge. As we are a stamping challenge we do need to see some form of stamping in your project and no digis please. A fabulous prize is donated by our sponsor Marina at Cottage Crafts to the winner of the random draw and we also feature the top three entries as voted by our Design Team.
I had fun making the background of my card, using paperartsy fresco finish paint and distress inks. The stamps used are hero arts cling, Tim Holtz and La Blanche. The other stamps used are B line Designs The travellers, Crafty Individuals and Stampendous, a real mixture LOL!
Have a great Sunday and Thanks for popping by!
Happy Crafting xxx

Love your background and the back story too. What a fabulous card to show for this challenge. Love your blog header too - I recognise someone's amazing artwork up there!! What a great way to display it. Hugs, Jenny x
Gorgeous... the colours are right up my street, and I love how the layout leads your eye from the hopeful young couple upwards and outwards into the world of travel and adventure. Totally fabulous background, both the stamping and the beautifully blended colours, and (appropriately) I love your ephemera!!
