My family, especially my husband, loves camping (although, tbh, we gave up tent camping a while ago and enjoy a little travel trailer.) When the Double Trouble challengers asked for a card representing what "my guy" likes to do, camping was the obvious choice. I created a starry night sky by blending inks and splattering a shimmery white water color, then die-cut the tent and a few trees to finish the scene of camping under the stars. I used the Try a Sketch on Tuesday layout and incorporated some plaid scraps (plaid = outdoors, right?)
This card is for these challenges:
Double Trouble #218 -- 3 strips, 2 die-cut items, masculine project; TSOT,; my guy twist
TSOT #697 -- sketch
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday -- add a sentiment
Die-Cut Divas -- anything goes
Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2624 -- anything goes
The Paper Funday #88-- anything goes
A Cut Above -- use die-cuts
Word Art Wednesday #756 -- anything goes
Lovely masculine design. I am seeing this sketch everywhere. The spattered background and round die make it look like a snow globe seen. Cute tent too! Thanks for sharing with the June Challenge at A Cut Above. Happy to have you play along.
ReplyDeleteWonderful masculine card, the sky and splatters look great! Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble!
ReplyDeleteMe again, also wanted to thank you for joining us at the Paper Funday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove the camping scene you created for your camping fanatic. Yep we too went through many stages of camping from tent, pop-up, to trailer and our final move to Arizona for the last 20 years have been a feel-like camping atmosphere. Thank you for sharing your fun card with us at Double Trouble and TSOT
ReplyDeleteThis is cute!! Thanks for linking up to our June challenge gallery at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect card all around, Sandy! I love the snow globe look of the campsite, and you’re right plaid just goes so well with camping. I wouldn’t be to tent camp anymore either, but your little camper sounds like so much fun! I know your hubby will love this card! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. Love how you personalized the card for your family. The plaid patterned paper adds to the "rustic" feel of your card. Thanks for joining us at Try A Sketch On Tuesday.

Sandy, I don't blame your husband about preferring trailer camping to tent camping - I had a run-in with skunks and a torrential thunderstorm that cured me of tent camping decades ago! Thank you for sharing your card with us at both TSOT and Double Trouble!! -Donna
ReplyDeleteThis is just perfect! Love the card design. Thanks for sharing at Double Trouble.
ReplyDeleteI love the tent under the stars. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for a Anything goes theme using die cuts or dry embossing.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm the only one in the family who doesn't go camping. lol This is fabulous. Thank you for sharing at Double Trouble.
