Possibly my all-time favorite type of "found" paper is old maps. They are great in collage, they are terrific as giftwrap
(the big folding ones, especially!) and they are fantastic background for a masculine card! You don't need a particularly old map, even quite recent ones can be lovely and thanks to all the GPS-users today, you can often get an armful of maps at a garage sale for a dollar or so. The other vintage ingredients I used are a few playing cards from a game called "Touring"; an incomplete set of which I was given for Christmas from someone who knows how much I love old paper, lol. As soon as I saw the road trip motif I knew they would be awesome with the
Classic Car Brads and I stand by that belief! Since they were the size of standard playing cards I needed to trim them down in order to fit a few of my favorite bits onto one A2 sized card. I fussycut the traffic light and added a
Compass Brad to the center circle.
I bet you have some outdated maps and maybe even a game or two which doesn't have all its parts. I also bet you could match them to some
Eyelet Outlet Brads and Washi Tape to make a beautiful and unique card for someone special! ♥
...is an excellent driver!
