The Card Concept - Travel at Home or Abroad

Welcome to another inspiration challenge with The Card Concept. This time around we have two pictures for you to choose from to jump-start your creativity (we'll be doing this every second challenge).

Option 180a is travel abroad themed, while 180b is travel at home. You pick whichever one inspires you!

For my mixed media card I picked travel abroad focusing on London, which is one of the destinations shown in the pic and one of my all-time favourite places to visit. 

I liked the colours of both options so used a combination of these, giving everything but my focal image a sepia tint to tie them together and help the stylised scene to really pop. The map in the background is an actual old map of London.

Materials used:

• card - black, kraft, basic white
• Tim Holtz dies - Specimen, Postale
• other TH products - Backdrops Vol 1, quote chip, Eccentric rub-ons, vintage collage medium, gauge dials, tarnished brass distress paint, distress crayons in vintage photo and walnut stain, vintage photo archival ink, thought token, jump ring, salvaged tags, Memoir ephemera pack, arrow adornment
• other - Big Shot, rub-on tool, sponge dauber, paintbrush, crop-o-dile, string, craft foam, Dimensionals, mounting strips, corner rounder punch

I hope you'll be inspired to make your own card based on option a or b and share it with us in our gallery. Do take a look at the gorgeous creations my fellow team members have made over on The Card Concept blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
