Destination Italy

The Rubber Dance challenge this month has a theme of Travel & Vacation and Vintage Journey has a theme of Destination. This is the perfect excuse to use my Venice stamps (Katzelkraft) which don't get much use!


The colour scheme provided by Rubber Dance is:

I used lots of Tim Holtz products, though I'm not sure the way I put them together would be his style!
The Mixed Media Thinlits was used as a stencil and a die-cut piece is glued to the top right corner.
Some tissue tape plays a framing role and I also used a bit of card embossed with the Paris Alterations folder.

The stamps in the background are both Rubber Dance, the small Diamonds pattern stamped in blue (barely visible I know) and the map from the Travel plate stamped in black and embossed with clear EP.

And if you think there is a lot of Diamonds this is because the Harlequin motif and Venice go hand in hand (at least in my book) and the Craft Barn has a theme of (playing) cards this week!

Thanks for coming by,

Also entering  the Country View Crafts (On your travels) challenge.

    Something about diamonds either stamps or stencils that always appeals Christine and you have a great combination of all things inky here. And then there is the Gondoliere - what can I say other than I shall carefully select mine next month !!

    Thank you for joining our July challenge - love your card! I'm sure Tim would approve; we're not expected to copy his style just because we use his products, so I think you did well when making them "yours" by using them your own way :) Love all the dimanons! Thanks for using some of my stamps for your card.
