The third stop on the Papertrey tour is India. I recently found a box of charms I had collected years ago. It's been sitting on the floor of my study because I'm not quite sure what to do with them. I'm certainly glad I didn't throw them out! These elephant charms really spoke to me of India as did the beautiful paper from my stash.
The next stop on the Papertrey "tour" is Mexico. When I think of Mexico, I think of bright colors, sunshine, and beach resorts–where "life is good"–at least for the tourists.
Papertrey Ink is hosting a series of four challenges to celebrate World Card Making Day. The first stop is Japan. I've had this Japanese handmade paper for years, and this was the perfect time to pull it out. The elegant branch from Life also reminds me of the Japanese watercolor flowers. There's a tiny dragonfly charm on the bow.
It's been awhile since I've had a chance to participate in this challenge. Yesterday, however, I got a package from 2Peas with a new embossing folder from Quickutz. This seemed like a perfect sketch for it.
Here's my take on it–another Christmas card:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ripe Avacado; Card: Paper Source; Ribbon and patterned paper: unknown from stash; Krylon gold leafing pen, Quickutz embossing folder.
