The Mapquest Challenge at CAS-ual Fridays was the perfect opportunity to break out my Old Globe die cut from Die-Versions.
I started with a page from one of the many vintage atlases in my book collection and this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch.
I started with a dark green card base & cut my globe from the same paper. I backed it with light blue cardstock for contrast against the map background. I finished with an *explore* sentiment ... it will be a birthday card for a guy who loves to travel.
You are so clever! Using the old atlas page is perfect for your die cut globe. I've really got to investigate Die-Versions (a new company to me) as well as the local book sales. As an ex-library employee, I know how many old books end up in the recycle bin. I'm going to look at them much differently from now on. Thanks again for the inspiration!
