A camping themed birthday card including a cute little tent, some watercolour and some layered papers
Our oldest grandson is having a birthday soon and he & his brother will be celebrating together with a camping theme. I found some excellent images on Pixabay and this is one of them. I laser printed it on white cardstock and watercoloured it. I traced a spool for the sun with a pencil before I started colouring. I did it first and let dry a bit before I did the rest - the sky, trees in the background, grass and a bit of brown in the foreground for a road. I added a layer of gray brown and black decorative paper and used black watercolour to connect the two with common elements. I created a brown card to fit in an envelope from my stash. I added a brown decorative paper and then my large camping site image. I added a torn distressed paper on the bottom and trimmed it to the edge of the card on both sides. The greeting is a laser printed font which I colour washed to coordinate and added to the lower section along with a paper punched button to which I had added brown thread. Happy with how it all came together!!
