"Sailing Away" ATC


When I was making this card I didn't even realize consciously that I was putting together another sea-themed card! I was focusing more on the maps and thinking of travel. I picked the Neptune/Poseidon stamp because of his colors! I'm really pleased with how this one turned out though! When I look at it I can feel its "movement" and it makes me want to create a whole book about traveling. Perhaps that will be a summer project!
The card is made up of paper, a used postage stamp, half of a slide/negative mailer (the square frame) covered in paper, a key charm, a bit of a golden paper doily, and the words are stickers. A Good Tip: When working with the paper slide/negative mailers, used rubber cement to attach paper to it! Regular tacky glue tends to warp the image and other glues don't hold the paper well on the plastic. And before adding the paper, I lightly scored a criss-cross design into the blank mailer so the glue could get an extra strong grip. :)
