you mean the world to me...

Hey!!  Stopping in with a card (duh, lol!) for a couple of challenges:  Freshly Made Sketches and Time Out.   The FMS layout is pretty simple, but I puzzled over it for quite sometime until I saw the inspiration photo from Time Out.  Finally... an idea was born!  I found some masculine papers in my stash and trimmed down one with a grid pattern on it.  I then stamped the image of the continents (from Concord & 9th's Map Love stamp set) in blue ink.  Two pieces were trimmed off the left edge and then each one was trimmed down further.  Two strips the same width were trimmed off another piece of paper from the same pad, trimmed further to fill in the right spots and then I started adhering everything.  I adhered the main portion flat and then the strips at varying heights using foam dimensional.  The sentiment was stamped in brown in and then I added partial images of the continents.

Have a wonderful day!

Supplies:  Cardstock:  white; Patterned paper:  My Mind's Eye; Stamps:  Concord & 9th; Inks:  Stampin Up! and VersaFine
