Claritystamp challenge - Masculine

Hello to you all.  Its been a while I know;  I've had a lot going on recently, and have to admit that I've been struggling to find my mojo during the last couple of weeks.  Still here is my effort for this months challenge.

 
I created what I hope is a card that would be suitable for a man taking up a new job that requires a lot of travelling.  Although the stamping of the British Isles is a bit uneven, I don't think this spoils the overall effect.  The remainder of the stamping is all done in black Archival, even the photo corners which are from the journaling set, and were clear embossed, before being attached with foam pads to add a bit of dimension.  The hot air balloons were coloured with Distress Markers and I did a bit of zentangle in the same colours to add interest and detail.  I added a couple of metal pointers to the compass.
 
I'm off to chase my mojo.  Maybe it is floating away in one of those hot air balloons...
 
Good luck to everyone.  Till next time.  Xxx

      Thanks Linda. It all seems so easy when we feel inspired, but I think the real challenge is to keep going and create something even when we're not. Xxx
