I crumpled up a brown (kraft) paper bag, added some vintage photo distress ink, crumpled it up again and added some pumice stone distress ink. I gave it a quick spritz of water then ironed the paper smooth. I used Staz-on jet black ink on the Tim Holtz stamp. I added a compass from Tim's "salvaged stickers" and a small spinner. The "Happy Birthday" was computer generated at some point. . .it fell out of my stash of scraps when I was looking for some background paper. The background was a leftover of "road trip" by Reminisce, it's hard to tell in the picture, but there is a map. The card is a kraft cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you take a few minutes to leave a comment.
