JAI #78 - COLOUR CHALLENGE

The team At JUST ADD INK have another colour challenge for you this week.  This is another card that simply came together when I saw the colours we had to play with!  Such gorgeous EARTHY colours!!

I love it when I have a clear idea of what I want to do - it doesn't happen all that often!!  So going with the Earthy theme.................

I decided to do a Telescope card for my Dad's Birthday.  Both the colours in the challenge and the sentiment I chose dictated the card..........
Although I don't know what possessed me to hand cut all the continents!!  It took me hours to make this card.  But my Dad is worth it.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD ♥
I hope you will join me and the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team this week with this gorgeous challenge.  I can't wait to see you entries!

    You HAND CUT the continents??? Good grief! Love this, and your Dad will appreciate the effort and love that went into it, I'm sure. It's a great card, Paula.

    That takes fussy cutting to a whole new level! I just love your telescoping circle card - it's still on my list of things to do! Super job, Paula.

    A great card Paula, I am sure your dad will love it! I am also pleased to see that not only did Australia and New Zealand take pride of place in your card but you didn't forget to put TASMANIA on the world map! Well done! ♥

    LOL, Mae!! Would always feature OUR side of the world in my cards. Not only did I put Tasmania there, but also Stuart Island!
