I’m so surprised to find that this card was chosen as a Top 3by Country View Challenge July Challenge – Travel. It's indeed double happiness.

Hi Artsy Friends,

It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge again. The July Challenge Theme remains to be Anything Goes.     

For Challenge Rules and other DT’s inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. Please join us for the fun. I can’t wait to see what you have come up with. 

It’s summer now and I can’t help dreaming about travelling. The Pandemic has been around for too long (more than 2 years). Here in Taiwan, people still wear masks when going out, making travelling somewhat inconvenient. Yet travelling always brings me joy, just even to think about it.

For my DT artwork, I decided to make a travel-themed card as my virtual trip. Ha! As a city person, I see city skyline all the time. So it’s just a matter of mood and how you interpret it. Hope my card is cheerful to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
