I have been combing through my coloured images and found this Thinking Of You image. I matted it with a snippet of gold and placed that on a scalloped square diecut I had on hand. I matted again with a fairly wide brown mat as I needed to make this image look large enough for a 5 1/2 inch square card! The tone on tone brown strip is an unknown DP from my bits box. While rummaging in there, I found this piece of hessian (burlap). It is actually a piece that has the little hole from the top of the hessian pack, but I hid that wee hole in my card design.
The background DP is from a kit I have had for 5 or maybe even 10 years! Now that is a VOS item!
I fussy cut some clocks and compasses from another snippet of DP... a snippet of 12x12 DP left over from a scrapbook layout. I added them around the image and pop dotted the larger compass.
I am going to use this card as a notecard so have left the inside black. I will use it to write a letter to a friend.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
1.
Pixies Crafty Workshop - must use snippets.

Hi Mo
thank you so much for sharing your wonderful card at Di's playground. I did giggle to myself when I read that you 'rummaged' in your craft stash - isn't it surprising what we find?!!!
Fabulous job in hiding the hole in your hessian - a true crafter!!

Oh I love this, there's so much going on - and with the tree, the texture and the "thinking of you" sentiment it would be perfect for the current challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz but you'd need to hurry as you only have until 6pm UK time to join in - the link is http://cardz4guyz.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/challenge-81-something-begining-with-t.html
Love your card, those clocks are a great finishing touch.

Fabulous card! Love the way the tree image pops against the neutral colours of the rest of the card. Perfect for male or female too! xxx
Such a fabulous card, your clocks and compasses complement your lovely image beautifully.

Lovely tone on tone card Mo. Happy note writing . . .something we don't do enough of in these days of texting and emailing! Perhaps I'm just an old-fashioned gal!

THis is a wonderful card with all the clocks, the compass and burlap banner! It's a great reminder that someone is thinking of you regardless of how much time passes or where the road leads you! Great idea, wonderful creation!
Super card for the boys Mo! Love how you've added lots of elements. Zx
