I used an SCS card sketch as my starting point. From there I reflected on the sentiment, "wheresoever you go...".
I did some searching for just the right image and as I was in that process, a book I read also came to mind. In The Way is Made By Walking, Paul Boers records his experiences as he walked the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain. I decided to try to incorporate that into the final design.
I found a photograph that I thought depicted well the journey that we are on, a spacious field with unforetold opportunities.
Having now the basic elements, it didn't take long to put them together. The sentiment was sized to accommodate the placement on the Brocade Blue (SU) cardstock. The photograph was printed and slightly offset on a smaller white background panel. Ribbon & gem dots added the finishing touches and the whole panel was then adhered to a white card.
As I gaze upon the endless field I feel compelled to go... to go with complete abandon... to go with all my heart.
