For my card today, I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something with a Vintage look. Traveler - a new sneak peek stamp set, has some nice old fashioned images so I decided to give them a try. 
My A2 Very Vanilla Card Base was inked up with the World Map Background stamp in Soft Suede Ink. By stamping off prior to stamping, I get a fainter image that fits my vintage take for this card. The Chocolate Chip Cardstock Square was stamped with the retired Off the Grid stamp with Versamark Ink. It was then Heat Embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.
The World Globe from the Traveler Stamp set was inked up with the new Lost Lagoon In Color Ink. I stamped it on a small piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock whose top was punched withthe Angled Tag Topper Punch. After sponging the edges of the tag with Soft Suede Ink, I separated the corner , curled it and sponged it too. 
After punching a larger Lost Lagoon Cardstock piece with the Angled Tag Topper Punch, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This tag was tied with a combination of 3/8" Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon & the new sneak peek 3/8" Lost Lagoon Stitched Satin Ribbon. The final touch was the addition of a Gold Sequin covering the hole of the smaller tag.
The inside of the card was stamped with the sentiment "You make the world a better place". Seemed appropriate!
I am glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave this set a try. Please let me jnow what you think by leaving me a comment. I really appreciate all of your comments.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Not to bad for jumping out of your comfort zone. I like the combinations you used and I really like the background stamp. Perfect fit with the greeting on the inside. Did I say I like the new color Lost Lagoon.
Wow Ging! I like this card for someone who is traveling! Good job on the design and colors!!
I like this card too, I like the double use of ribbon and the color combo I really like not to mention the stampin. I think I like everything about this card!
You rock my world! This is fabulous! Out of your comfort zone, oh you have to be kidding – you are a natural! Look at all these details from the embossing to the ribbon to the distressing and that gold is totally off the grid wonderful! Sort of reminds me of the bound Rand McNally maps with the gold lettering on the cover! Those two colors are super cool and one I will certainly use. That stitched ribbon looks perfect with the other ribbon! Gee, can you tell I love this project!
Mike was a world history and geography teacher – this would have been perfect back then. I think he finally wore out his socks with the maps on them I bought him!
