Hello dear friends! As many of you will know it's earth day today, the day when we celebrate the beauty and tranquility of our beautiful planet. So I wanted to wish you all Happy Earthday by sharing this card created as a card to wish friends safe travels.
We all know how much our beautiful earth, and the creatures that live upon it, are under threat, from environmental onslaughts, from terrorists and wars to name but a few. I think Earthday is perfect to bring greater awareness to these problems and to call on each of us to make responsible decisions.
OK, enough philosophy, onto my card:
I have no step by step photos, but will give you a quick run through the details. As you can see there are quite a few layers. I wanted a shabby grungy feel to this card so distressed the layers.
A piece of 7 x 7 scrapbook paper was treated with gesso, inks splatters and background stamping.
The globe was cut from metallic card, run through a Tim Holtz embossing folder and then coloured with some Alcohol Inks.
This layer was created with a piece of torn watercolour paper run through the same embossing folder and then I added some scraps of the top layer of a paper serviette with collage medium.
The top right corner needed something to balance out the other embellishment, it's a resin crown (I think from Prima?) I have had in my stash since ages.
A shabby Petaloo flower, some ribbon, twine and foliage and two little labels to wish my friends safe travels.
And that was pretty much it. I don't enter challenges very often, but as this one fits the
Earthday challenge over at
Anything but Cute, I thought I would add it there.
Thank you for your visit like always and HAPPY EARTHDAY!!!
You are the source of all change on the planet. If you tend to your internal peace
You're tending to Peace on Earth
