I loved going camping when I was a few years younger. I have fond memories of sleeping in tents (although the mattresses weren't too soft) and making meals over the camp fire - something that might be too dangerous to do today.
So for the themed sketch challenge with Try Stampin on Tuesday #611 I chose to go with a camping theme to reflect "Summer time". I used the Campology stamp set,
For the focal image, I stamped the larger forest image from the Campology stamp set, on a piece of Basic White card stock and die cut a select square part using the Stylish square die. Using a blending brush, I added some blue sky and filled in some Old Olive for grass below the trees. The bird stamp from "On the Horizon" was used to stamp the birds over the tent.
The tent was stamped separately, coloured, fussy cut and added to the scene using dimensionals. Using a fine black pen I sketched back in the ropes holding the tent secure.
This was added to a Mossy Meadow rectangle embossed with the Rope 3D embossing folder. Both were added to a piece of Basic White embossed with the Woodlands embossing folder. which in turn was added to a Mossy Meadow card base.
The sentiment was die cut with a small circle Stylish die and added below the image using dimensionals.
The three embellishments beside the image are from the In Color Opal Rounds.
All edges were sponged with Mossy Meadow ink before being added to the card.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Campology, On the Horizon
Inks: Black Memento, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Basic Gray, Stampin blends (Daffodil Delight, Wild Wheat, Balmy Blue)
Papers: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Stylish Dies, Rope 3D Embossing folder, Woodlands Embossing folder, Corner Rounder punch, In Color Opal Rounds, Dimensionals

Maria, I recall those summer family camping trips as well! Your card invokes both wonderful and horrible memories (like the time a family of skunks visited our campsite after dark!). Love your composition and how you placed your tent and re-drew the tent ropes for the 3D effect!! Thank you for creating a summery card with both our Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch and theme!!! -Donna
Camping is my jam - so many wonderful memories with my family. This brought those back. Awesome card. Thanks for sharing this over at TSOT.
