Last year Michelle asked her Facebook friends to set her a challenge to make a Christmas card with a specific theme, or technique, or product to use. She had so much fun last year, that she's doing it again this year and has asked some of her crafty friends to collaborate with her.
Our specific theme today is 'A Year of Travel'. When I got this theme from Michelle, I thought "ok, that is a challenge" and it definitely wasn't what I was expecting! However, if it wasn't challenging, it wouldn't be a challenge and we can interpret it any way we like. So this is my take on it....

| To begin I sponged distress inks on to watercolour paper and spritzed. When dry, I stamped the the world map several times, gold embossed and then die cut the baubles (christmas ornaments). I chose the 'Passport Stamps' embossing folder for the the background as I thought it fitted the theme. To finish I stamped and die cut the sentiment and assembled it all, adding the red bows for a more 'Christmas-y' feel. This card is for my daughter, who is jetting off on her first solo overseas holiday in January! Here is the inside of the card  |
