Missing You

Here's my take on this week's challenge at Global Design Project. My version of the inspiration card features a similar layout and focal image, but has a more whimsical feel.

My globe is from the I Miss Your Hugs stamp set from My Favorite Things. I used pigment inks to stamp the two images, then cut out the piece with the matching die. The image was positioned on a piece of teal patterned paper over a mix of blue, green, and teal strips. For interest, I used some slanted edge pieces, some stitched fishtail pieces, and some plain old cardstock strips fished out of my scrap pile. Once the image was in place, I used foam tape to add the little heart shaped speech bubble at the left of the earth image. The "missing you" sentiment was stamped on a narrow light blue strip and placed on the panel with one edge tucked beneath the raised heart shaped bubble. I accented it with a small baker's twine bow, then added a pair of teal enamel dots to finish the visual triangle. The finished panel was adhered to a coordinating teal card base.
