I started my card, with a masking technique using The Rubber Cafe's Compass stamp. The mask was too thick, as you see a bit of a "white space", but I still like the result. I used a dark navy ink and clear embossing powder for the Compass. Next I stamped over the mask with Paris Nights Background stamp in Turquoise ink and clear embossing powder again. All the paper products for this card are from October Afternoon travel line so for my sentiment I used October Afternoon and MLS small letter stickers over my clustered sentiment spot. Next I added a jute ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, using our One and Only Tape plus 2 stamped Postoid Set stamps. This is just a fantastic set of 4 from The Rubber Cafe', to finish them off I cut around them with my old and never used decorative scissors giving them a great Postage stamp look!
A few more final touches, such as an Arch Triumph brass charm and a resin Eiffel Tower on the corner and my card is done.
And now about those so called stickers... they are not so sticky at all! So to make sure they 'stuck' I added some or The Rubber Cafe's fantastic Scrap Happy Glue. I remembered this tip from Tim Holtz in a class I took with him: "self adhesive stickers are non-adhesive ones".
