Well I'm not, but one of our Son's and his girlfriend are, so I thought I would make them a card to wish them good luck on their journey.
They are flying out to Delhi this week via Dubai, then moving on to Agra to see the wonderful Taj Mahal...........that's one still on my wish list and I have told them I want a text picture from that famous seat synonymous with the picture of Princess Diana. Then they fly up to Kathmandu and the trek to Everest Base Camp.
One of my friends asked why my kids don't do normal things like visiting the Lake District.........good question !

The card above follows a very similar design to the Everest one and is one of my samples from the Demo day at Stampalot on Saturday which was a really fun day and as I suspected I met lots of new and familiar faces.......a big thank you to everyone who came and helped make it such a great day.
The stamp.....only the one repeat stamped, on the Everest card is Stampscapes and very simple brayering and sponging with Adirondack dye inks. The sentiment which is computer generated is a quote from Sir Edmund Hilary and I thought so apt as our son and his girlfriend are professional photographers..........they met at Uni doing the same course.
My second card uses Art Impression stamps, a hand drawn fence and again simple brayering. The sentiment is Penny Black 3227K Hope.
Thanks for stopping by, I really do appreciate all your visits and kind words.
Wishing your son and his girlfriend a happy and safe & successful trip. Love the cards you made!
ReplyDeleteI love the calm colours and feel of these cards. The one with the stag is exquisite and the personal background to the other makes it very special..they are both gorgeous!

Two gorgeous cards, Brenda. I love them. I am hoping I will get the chance to get my brayer out again soon - work is such an interruption to my crafting!

Simply beautiful !
ReplyDeleteTwo stunning cards - love the cool blues. Climbing Mount Everest ... what a feat. I can empathise with the question ... my son flies microlights which are not much better than a go-cart with wings and doesn't seem to know the meaning of fear! Elizabeth, a proud but scared mother, x
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards. What an exciting holiday that will certainly be something to remember.
ReplyDeleteOh my this was to beautiful cards - I so love them!
