OWH Sketch Challenge 67

April has been pretty crappy in my area, rain, rain, some more rain, a little more rain......  And finally!  May first has brought a beautiful day!  Yeah!  Today's sketch inspired me to use some really cute papers that I've been hoarding for a couple of years.  My niece leaves for the Navy in 2 weeks, and I was thinking of her the whole time I worked on this card.  The dog tag says 'passport to adventure' and I popped the ship and one of the suitcases.  At first I thought it needed the brown bling at the top right, but once I had it on, I thought it was better without it, except that I couldn't peel the blasted things off, so there they will stay..... ~ Nancy F.
