As I sat down to craft today, I started to think about vacation last year. One of the places that we visited was Mexico and we toured the historic city Chichen Itza. When walking the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilisation, I was just amazed that people lived among those ancient structures. It was amazing to reflect on that day ...... and so this was the inspiration for making my card today. Well, that and the challenge I entered. Hahahahaha!

Today, Im playing along with the team at Freshly Made Sketches. It was a sketch challenge this week, and below, I have included a copy of the sketch provided;


And, this is the card that I ended up with;

Things I love about my card;

Card Collection - The card collection is called 'Lets Get Away' and if filled with COOL images and illustrations. They are bright and colourful. I picked this card as it had all four of the colours that I wanted to highlight.


Stamp Set - This set is ALSO named 'Lets Get Away' and is designed as a collection that matches. There are lots of small stamps that can be used in journalling etc. or stand-alone as I have used on the card today.



Rotary Stamp - I LOVE this! One of the stamps in the collection also has the sentiment 'Never Stop Exploring' but it wasn't the right shape for the card. So, I white embossed on Melon Mambo to really make the sentiment POP!


Colours - I've put together an image to show these colours and that image is below;
