This week over at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we are asking you to create a Travel Themed project. I had no idea where to start - should I go with one of my Asian Tildas or Sailor Edwin or one of my Tildas with the suitcases???? And then what colours, layout etc- I was just in a bit of a design slump - my mojo left at the first sign of my sniffles so it too wouldn't catch a cold : (
In the end I resorted to a sketch to get me started - I used my own from last week's challenge - it was sooo much fun to see what everyone else did with it that I thought I'd give it a go myself - LOL. I also used a brand new paper pad I bought last week - it was just MADE for the challenge - it's Up, Up and Away by Kaisercraft.
I think this is one of the first cards I've ever made that I set the design and colours BEFORE I chose and coloured up my Tilda - LOL. I think I may just have to do it again - I'm quite happy with the result!!!
Hope you guys can join in too - it's going to be sooooo much fun travelling the world in front of my laptop while checking out the entries! And don't forget to pop over to the MDUC blog HERE to see the rest of the amazing DTs work - I tell ya these gals are one talented bunch!!!

Debbie, your card is gorgeous, this is one of my favourites from the Bon Voyage collection. The papers are super & I love your colours & sketch. I too colour up my images & then try to find matching paper, I know it us best to do the other way around but I struggle, will have to try it again & your fab sketch too. Have a great weekend .

Fabulous card Debalicious, sorry to her about the sniffles but your right, your card is gorgeous and you should always make them backwards if this is how they turn out, lol!! Your colour combo is sooo beautiful and the flowers are gorgeous.
Debbie so glad you gave your sketch a bit of a whirl!! hahaha your card is awesome, I love those papers... might have to check them out a bit further!! Tilda looks Wonderful too!! I hope your cold leaves you alone - and doesn't hang around like mine did for 2 weeks - yuck... hope you got plenty of Aloe Vera Tissues!!!

Beautiful layout and colouring. Love her in fall colours. Fantastic card.
Hi Debbie, so glad I stopped by and read your post I was fretting about not having a little Tilda with a suitcase not even thinking of the sailors or Asian etc.. so thanks :)
It's interesting to read about how others go about making their cards; I always make the card and then find an image and colour it to suit! Your cards are beautiful - no matter what order you make them in!!
