Camp Is Fun Card

When I was a Girl Scout growing up I enjoyed camping a lot. We stayed in tents. Cooked meals over a fire. Washed our dishware in a mesh bag. My mother & father took us camping. We had a camper that we towed.
 
When my daughter was growing up she enjoyed going to Sky Ranch in Van Zandt, TX every Summer from 1st grade on up. They stayed in cabins. She would go for 1 wk most times and once for 2 wks. Her last time with Sky Ranch was when she enjoyed going to OK for 1 wk & Colorado for 1 wk. They stayed in cabins. They hiked up a hill and spent the night under the stars.

When my daughter was camping one yr hubby & I enjoyed staying in a cabin in the Ozarks. Cabin was named Mount Sunrise and we enjoyed the bee-utiful sunrises. We hiked and rode ATVs. Saw wildlife.

Created this card using Ombre technique using Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Camp Out Cricut cartridge for the Tent, Inkadinkado stamps for the Trees and the Paper Studio stamp for sentiment. Stamped the Trees leaves with Memento Cottage ivy and then used a Stampin' Up Espresso marker for the Tree Trunk.

  2. Great card. I love using ink pads to create scenery.

    Tea is a favorite of mine all sorts of flavors. I prefer lose leaf teas. My absolute favorite tea in the whole WORLD is Cherry Blossom Tea. It is green tea mixed with something turning it pink so yummy.
