The Campology stamp set - yeah!- is carried over into the new Annual catalogue which debuts May 4. I have not made any cards with it to date, getting diverted by other stamp sets so today was the day! And I'm so pleased with the results - what was I waiting for?
Camping season is arriving very quickly, and with the pandemic showing no signs of slowing down, this outdoor activity is sure to be popular. The campground in my city is already fully booked.
The scene in this card is about as close as I'm going to get to camping. So, here's my card
Have I mentioned lately that I love the new blender brushes? I used them to create the background for this card. These are the colours I used for the sky: Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy. For the grass I used Mossy Meadow. The trees were stamped with Soft Suede ink, using the coordinating Stamp Blend to fill in the tree trunks.
After I created the sky I stamped the tent in an area where the sky was Daffodil Delight and masked it with a post it note to preserve the spot while I stamped the trees and bushes. After I removed the mask I added some definition and highlights by colouring with Cajun Craze Stampin' Blend.
The cup and coffee pot were stamped on a separate piece of Basic White and coloured with Smokey Slate stampin' blend. After fussy cutting , I added it to the lower left of the scene. The sentiment, stamped Basic White, was trimmed before adding it to the left of the Coffee pot. It seemed very white against the Mossy Meadow background so I added some colour using the blender brush.
To finish the card, I added a bow made with Mossy Meadow Braided linen trim, and some stars in the sky.
Some Basic White was added to the inside. I stamped part of the trees on the right side, and with some left over colour on the brushes, some colour was added around them.
