A Big Wish to travel

We have some exciting news at our household. Of all the artists on Etsy, my husband was choosen to have a video made about him and his junker car art. They even had original music composed for it. It took two days of taping to create a 4 minute piece. I just love it, but my husband won't really look at it yet. LOL. I am including the video in todays post, please watch it and feel free to pass it on. In his honor I am presenting this vintage rust colored travel collage piece using Gecko Galz images.

To make this postcard collage, This Postcard is covered with linen, painted and stamped with a map. The suitcase image is from the Great Adventures Paper Pack, The young girl is from Monday Child collage sheet. The Letters  for "Big Wish" are punched from the Great Adventures Paper Pack.The accents include a tag with a leather tie, some printed diecuts and dotted paint details.

Hope you will get to travel this week whether on your computer or in your car.
take care, gerri

  4. Love what you have made, and the video is fantastic. In the garden of a big villa near here, there are several old cards which an artist 'planted' about 40 years back; now you really have to look to find them in the greenery, just great! Valerie
