There are so many possibilities for this simple card map challenge

Sometimes it is nice to see a simple card map design as it helps us to revisit our crafting products and see all the possibilities waiting there.

That's the approach I took for today's Paper Craft Crew card map challenge.

At first I thought that I would use a layer of designer series paper on the card base. But I didn't really have a paper design that 'jumped out' at me.

So I thought, instead, about the stamp set I might use and that came to me easily:

The Awesome Otters stamp set is a FREE choice for Sale-a-bration right now - available with at $50 order (or €65 in the NL) until the end of February. Learn more about Sale-a-bration here!

I decided to use the otter image in the water and then it hit me. Rather than using designer paper on the card front, what if I used an embossing folder instead? So that's what I did. To achieve the affect I wanted, I first used my Blending Brushes...

.... to add two different colors of ink: Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight. After that was applied to the Basic White card base I then embossed this layer with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder:

This folder kind of looks like splashing water so that works for me.

Here's my Awesome Otters card map challenge card:

So dang cute! And now it's your turn - see what you can create using this week's card map challenge and see what speaks to you from your crafting space.

Hi and thanks for your comment Mrs Miles! That embossing folder is only available through Stampin' Up! I see that you live in Canada? There are Stampin' Up! demonstrators in your area - you can go to the Stampin' Up! website and find one if you want to purchase that embossing folder. If you live in the US I can help with that!
