The Long Journey.....

Hello dear friends: I have a deep admiration for all of those wild creatures who take on the awesome and most times, dangerous JOURNEY of migration.  From the little Monarch Butterflies to the big Geese and Ducks, from the tiny Hummingbirds to the big African Elephants, this animals migrate in search for food, mates, warmer climates, sometimes guided only by their instinct and amazing sense of direction.  To me, the Journey some of this animals undertake is nothing short of epic and humbling.
Over at CASology the CODE WORD for this week is JOURNEY so I made this card with one of my most favorite SU sets called "The Wilderness Awaits", I'm also linking this card to the Corrosive Challenge #7 "Nature/Animals" and the Addicted to Stamps and More "CAS challenge #204, here is my card.

The image is stamped onto Canson water color paper with Versafine Onix Black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder then, colored with SU markers and the aqua painter. 
I wanted to add a sentiment that had the word JOURNEY and, after looking through my Flourishes stash of stamp sets I found this perfect one, from another fantastic masculine set. 
I like to combine sets every chance I get, I did this to make the inside of my card.


I will list the sets I used to make this card at the bottom of this post.
Here are the banners that inspired my card.
