Let's Go

The challenge at Shopping Our Stash this week is Something New! ... to create using something you haven't used before.

I have several packages of Wood Veneer elements from Studio Calico that I've been hoarding, so I knew it was finally time to open the packages.  I also broke out some new Studio Calico Heydey Thoughts Stamps, as well as some Amy Tangerine paper goodies & Prima flowers.

I dyed the wooden butterflies with Manganese Blue Archival ink (love that color) and attached the prima flowers with glue dots (I think the big one looks pretty enough to be a lapel pin).  

I added lots of sentiments to tell a little story ... I love how everything works together in this design with the suitcase, map, images of flight & text ... some journeys cannot be put into words.

The layout is this week's Freshly Made Sketch.

I'm also joining the Anything Goes Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
