Another Paper Tole card

Hello everyone,

I love the variety of themes in the challenges...sketches...colours...techniques...occasions...
It provides us with so many ideas to mix and match and create something new...

I was very happy to see the technique challenge at Mod Squad...its Paper Tole...
Having posted a tutorial for the same a week back...I was already equipped for this challenge... :D
You can check my tutorial on Paper Tole here...

I was inspired by this cool sketch at Stamplorations...

So...on to the card I made...

Casology has a monochrome challenge...so I have used neutrals and just one colour...Worn-Lipstick DI

I have used the script stamp from my new Bo Bunny "Its Written" stamp set...to cover the white panel...

Added Distress ink coloured side-border to the script panel...

Mounted the whole thing on kraft card base...

I glued the paper tole rose(coloured with DI) on the script panel and attached a flag label(coloured with DI and spritzed with water)...

And finally stamped the sentiment on the flag...so tagging along in the Whimsy Stamps challenge...

A better look at the paper tole rose...

Scrapbooker PHD has a CAS theme...

I wanted to keep the card clean and simple...so I didn't add any embellishments...

Adios Amigos

Hello everyone,

I made this card for for our friends who are moving to Seattle,WA. Goodbyes are always hard...
I have been pondering for days about what card should I give them and then I found this freebie of the map of United States from the Old Design Shop...and something just clicked...
I knew exactly what to make...

I took a black n white print of the map and glued it to a watercolour paper. Then I painted on it with some watered down blue acrylic colour (I chose the colour blue...coz it is always raining in Seattle).While this was drying, I took a printout of  the Space Needle, which is a landmark in Seattle. I fuzzycut the image and coloured it with Archival ink...It looked like a beautiful silhouette

I glued down the Space Needle on one side of the card and stamped the sentiment in Archival Ink.
I had to stamp on it a few times to get a good impression.

I drew the black border with a Bic Marker...

Now for the card base. I took a Kraft cardstock and stamp randomly on it with a few sentiment stamps.

Lastly, I placed the map piece on the Kraft base...
And the card was done...

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
