I used the new stamp set called "Wanderlust", and combined it with some fabulous Glitz product!  Here is what I created!

Instructions:

1. Make A2 card from white cardstock.

2. Cut background paper slightly smaller, then adhere.

3. Adhere the journal card at an angle to the front.

4. Wrap a strip of vellum around the middle, then stamp the sentiment to it. 

5. Layer the woodgrain block at the opposite angle with a striped paper strip & glittered tab.

6. Layer the hello banner & giant rhinestone to the top of the woodgrain block.

7. Cut the journey sticker in half, and adhere to the top & bottom of the journal card.

8. Add the glitter arrow & woodgrain arrow to the top, then accent with a jewel.

9. Add the heart sticker & woodgrain epoxy stickers to the top of the journal card.

10. Accent the front with sequins, jewels & a wood veneer embellishment to finish.
