Hello everyone! Hope summer is in full swing for you! Summer and early fall are the loveliest times to go camping where I live. So, today I’ve brought you a card made with The Great Outdoors digital stamp set!
I wanted to use elements that really brought out the camping spirit. I also wanted to place them in a heart shape with the sign in the middle which I created first and then sized and placed my elements on top of the outline of the heart.
Warning here: I used lots of colors! I wanted to really bring out the flavor of camping and color my elements in a way that was familiar to me.
Copic colors used: Y000, Y00, Y02, Y21, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7, YR23, YR31, YR68, E21, E31, E33, E35, E37, E25, E77, E79, YG11, YG23, YG63, YG17, G21, G85, G29, G94, B000, B12, B18, B24, C2, C3, C5, Y28, R02, R05, R37, 100, Blender
I prepared an A2 size white card base and covered it with a piece of yellow patterned paper. I cut the focal fairy close to the outline leaving just a thin line of white showing. I felt that the background paper was a great color, it really come off as rather plain. So, using a leaf stencil, I chose a shade of yellow ink that was just a bit darker than the yellow of the paper. This really came out well and gave just a subtle interest to the background. I used a bit of blue pastel on the sky inside the heart and used that yellow ink for splatter.
I finished up by foam taping my focal onto the card and using yellow glitter glue in just a few places.
I hope you give the card a try. I love the campy vibe of this…makes me want to go camping!
Til next time,
Betsy
