The World is Your Canvas

And mine!  Since we do HIV research in Africa, I was sooooo excited to see that the new Stampin' Up Going Global set uses Africa rather than the US as the focus of the globe.  Perfect timing as graduation season is coming up which means some of our graduate students at work will be heading into the real world soon.

For this card I inked up the globe with 3 colors of Distress Ink that blend together well then I spritzed with just a tiny mist of water.  I immediately stamped on watercolor paper and let the stamp sit for a few more seconds than I would normally--don't know if that made a difference but I sure do like how this turned out!

And thanks to Tonya for letting me borrow more than a few of her SU sets!  They are addictive so you'll be seeing quite a few SU cards from me in the next few weeks as we prepare for an SU par-te.  If you care to use it, the hostess code is 9HZBDHKP which you enter in a new field under the special offers section of the online order shopping bag.

I'm entering this in CASology #186 Distress, CAS(E) This Sketch! #161 

The Details:  SU Going Global, Stamplorations Subway Art Builders, Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, VersaFine Onyx Black, Simon Says stitched rectangle die, Recollections 110lb white and black cardstock, Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock

    I sure like how it turned out too! Awesome design Toni. Love the colours of your globe ... and perfect amount of water with your watercolour spritz. That can be tricky! :) xx

    Fabulous take on the sketch, and I love the color palette! I'll have to remember to let the stamp sit for a bit, because your blending is so pretty! Gorgeous card, Toni!

    Oh, this has certainly turned out very well, Toni! I too like the fresh take on the globe, and the way you used your distressed inks is gorgeously vibrant, effective and optimistic. I just LOVE the sentiment you paired it with. Perfection! Thanks so much for joining us at CASology this week!

    Terrific example of how 3 distress inks give you a rainbow of color, Toni! Thanks for playing along with the CASology challenge this week!
