The current THD Challenge 10 showcases all sorts of maps. And what do you find on maps? Roads! Duh. LOL. I also pulled from the featured colors and really went nuts with the green from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow pad--adore! That green makes the SugarPea Designs Log Cabin Mountainscapes Border and sponged clouds created by using the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Borders pop. You may notice that the camper is actually the reverse image of what's included in the Avery Elle Glamper Camper set. I've tried my hand at mirror image stamping in the past with less than ideal results. Turns out you quickly kiss the inked stamp to another rather than mash it like I had been doing! And what did I use for the mirror image? The giant heart from the Concord & 9th Heart Smile set. I love stretching my stamps! Why don't you give it a try!
