DCM – World Tourism Day

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Shabneez is challenging us to join in with the celebrations for World Tourism Day.

My project is, of course, taking you to Poland! Yay!

Another outing for my very traditional Polish paper cut dies. They’re fun to use, but oh… the process is still a labour of love and best enjoyed with a Sizzix Sidekick on your desk while you watch Netflix at the same time. 😉

I once again raided my bountiful collection of cardstock packs from American Crafts – I’ve had these for years and the Tropical and Brights packs are particularly good for these sorts of designs.

I think the bright colours really pop against darker backgrounds. I still had some charcoal grey cardstock left from a similar recent project, so I used that again and then heat embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock, adding a few final paper flourishes.

Make sure you check out the jet-setting creations from the rest of the design team, and play along if you can! 🙂

Happy crafting!

    Fabulous colour selection and you’re right, the dark background is a perfect foil for them! I’d probably fiddle for hours with the arrangement of elements here and still not be satisfied – yours looks great Nat!
