Was envious of my daughter going camping this weekend. So I....made a card. I was inspired by a place we camped called Dillon Beach, CA. If you have ever been there then you know you will be camping with cows........literally. They roam the place freely and visit your campsite as they please. Oh the stories I could share.
Anyway, that is why I added a cow to my card. Don't worry, I didn't add any *cow pies*! LOL On to the details......
On a piece of white cs, I started my journey. Oh wait, first I had to make a stencil for the hills. Did this by cutting out a circle with my coluzzle, discarding the circle and using the frame. Used this frame to sponge the different hills with various greens on the bottom part of the cs. Added the doodle lines, stamped the trees and grasses.
Moving on up to the top part, I used my wonderful cloud stencil for the clouds. Sponged the sun, trying to put a cloud on it......Note to self: work on this technique a little more.
Stamped and clear ep'd the sentiment adding Judith dots around it.
Stamped and clear ep'd the tent, cow and bird. Colored with re-inkers. Cut these out, gluing the tent and cow on my little scene popping up the bird in the sky. Sponged Distress Ink on the doodled edges.
Put this on a light blue card that I added a strip of green linen cs. Don't know why I added the green cs, but I just did.
Hope you have enjoy my little camping trip as much as I did! TFL :0)

Great card. Wish I could camp with you. Although this camp site does not come close to the real life camping of my little sister. She even brings an indoor/outdoor rug for the kitchen area!! I could not even cut out the duck's neck on my card and you cut out the birds beak!!! I do not think we are really related anymore. TFS
Hugs,
Connie Jo

Now how the heck are you gonna go camping in the busies time of the year. I'm glad I'm not on your schedule - you'd blow me off in a new york minute! this is too adorable, Cathy. I've gotten to the point where I no longer read your description: Why bother? there's no way in the world I could ever recreate what you've done here. Connie Jo, arent I right? This is a masterpiece in its own way. If I might make a suggestion: please go visit chrisd99's gallery: you and she have so much in common. connie Jo, you do the same and then the 2 of you can discuss those wonderful similarities.~
