Sometimes the execution just doesn't happen the way you see things in your mind's eye, and today is that day for me! Too many distractions, I suppose! Thankfully, everything went very well with Matthew's surgery yesterday, but my heart definitely was not totally into stamping and the mojo suffered for it! He woke up about a half hour ago with a really swollen jaw, so he's gulping down a breakfast of yogurt and smoothies so that he can take his mega-dose of motrin and some pain meds.
Here in Florida, the woods are full of palmetto and fern, so I wanted to combine Theresa's set with another new set, The Good Life. I stamped the camper on a scrap of patterned paper that has a subtle dot print, then colored parts of it with Copic markers. Looks like it is time to replace the nib on my YG91! I'm having trouble getting it to lay down color smoothly, so I think it must be full of sizing or something!
I'll be adding some embellishments to this because it still feels too naked to me...hopefully after a little time to contemplate, something fun to add to it will come to mind!
Notes:
The Good Life, rubber or clear

Love the trailer. Wish I were camping.
ReplyDeletei like thecolors you chose and the dimensions, and I know how you feel with working on a card that is missing "something". May you find the something, but what you have is really cute!

Beautiful gals, beautful stamps and beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable camping card!!
ReplyDeleteThat camper is a hoot! Great new stamp collections!
ReplyDeleteI tend to think everyone owning a camper, is living the good life. LOL And what fun camping is in that kind of style, more comfortable than tents and sleeping bags. ;) I love how you layered the tree tops. Great masculine set.
ReplyDeleteI think this card is perfect just the way it is. The layers, the colors and the texture makes it just right! You must now step away from the card lol
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, Deb! Hope Matthew is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteGreat card.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Deb! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI think your camper card is cute. And before you know it Matthew will be back to his normal self. I remember when my son had his done... just be sure he doesn't suck on a straw and get a "dry socket".
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Deb. Hope Matthew will recuperate quickly.
ReplyDeleteNo embellishments needed! Hope your son recovers quickly..no fun to be in pain.
ReplyDeleteGoing camping is the good life for sure!
ReplyDeleteCute card ^.^
What a fun card! We have been talking about our next camping trip to Florida everyday this week. I started laughing when I saw you card and had to call my hubby in to see your card. He smiled too.
