Waltzingmouse Blog party - The Great Outdoors

Blog-Party-Logo 70%25
Welcome to this months Waltzingmouse blog party where the theme is The Great Outdoors, I immediately thought of my teeny trees set, but didn't just want to do some trees. When I hear the phrase "great outdoors" it always makes me think of camping, and what says camping better than a camp fire!!



Some clever use of teeny trees was needed to make the camp fire, and some obligatory marshmallows!

I've shown some of the stamps I used to create the camp fire.


I also stamped the stars, moon and marshmallows in versamark and heat embossed in white. (the moon was the circular stamp which was masked with a 1.5inch circle I had cut out).
I then sponged the top of the picture in cracked sapphire distress ink and the bottom is both walnut stain and forest moss. 
I finished off the card with a hand written sentiment on a mini banner,



To see what other people came up with for this theme pop over to the waltzingmouse website!

  22. Love your card! How talented you are that you can see the things in your head. How you want them and match up to sets you have. Especially when they are meant to be something else. Now that's a wonderful talent and imagination to have. Oh and of course to own Claire's wonderful stamps! Thanks for sharing the stamps you used. Makes me want to look at my stamps all over again a different way.
