It is better to travel well than to arrive.

Hello all!
Another Friday and another challenge from the alcohol markers DT at The Outlawz.  You'll have to forgive me for the very brief post but I'm away from home for a couple of nights  - yes, again!  We're off on a quick 'junktiquing' trip in the Pennsylvania Wilds, hoping it won't be excessively hot!
    Anyway, on to the card.  The theme this week is 'Travel' and I have to admit that this one had me at a bit of a loss of what to do for a while.  I felt as if my creativeness had gone travelling and left me with an empty case!  After a couple of days of putting the whole thing off, I decided to use a digi from an online store that sadly has ceased selling - shame as I really liked her style.


      The image was, of course, coloured with Copics and the simple background is a heat embossed script stamp and some washi tape.
     I would like to enter this into the challenges at Addicted to Stamps and More , Simon Says Stamp and Show , Charisma Cardz , The Paper Shelter .


Thanks so much for popping in  - hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Love the sentiment on this! Great card. I live in South Central, PA! If you travel this far into PA, you are experiencing heat! Take care. Yvonne

It is a beautiful image and love how you finished the card with the message and script. I never think to heat emboss. It really is a beautiful card.
