Heather's new sketch over at Miracles Momma Designs doesn't disappoint! I opted to go with some flags instead of the bottom photo but added a small cut up photo of Hiram Bingham's plaque at the top.
My shiny pink letters and new Prima flower make me really happy. I inked my letters up with brown StayzOn ink and then put the dimensional modge podge over them. Was pleased unexpectedly with the shine.
A word about Hiram Bingham III which is what my title is about. He is credited with discovering Machu Picchu. It sounds kind of odd that you'd misplace a city that size in your country, but hey, it was 1908. I am thinking it was more a factor of being in the right place at the right time, listening to local peeps, and then having the ability to get the word out. For his trouble, lots of books have been written about him and he scored a brass plaque with his name on it. ;-)
