Camper Kinda Day

I got to ink up some new stamps today. When A Muse opened their new website a couple weeks ago, these were two of the stamps that where on my first order. I know quite a few people who like to go camping and I thought these images would be perfect for making guy cards. I used Julee's Mojo 49 Sketch! My images were stamped with Palette Noir and then colored in using Koh-i-noor pencils and OMS. I'm so proud of myself because I pulled out my Micron pen and doodled some ground in! I used my mat pack and paper piercer to poke some holes around the edges. My super talented friend Tammi has been using buttons a lot of her cards lately and I always love them. So I finally remembered to pull out my button jar and follow her lead. I tied some brown Scrapper's Floss in the center. Love that stuff because it's so thin and it doesn't bulk up my button when I glue it down. I just used my trusty ol' Mono Multi glue and stuck it on the photo corner punch! The sentiment is punched out using the Marvy Extra Jumbo Scallop Circle. I just sponged the edges with Palette Burnt Umber to make it stand out more. Finally, I used my new Houndstooth folder and ran it through the Cuttlebug for the Rust strip. Isn't that paper perfect for these image? I found it at Archiver's last week and had to snatch up a piece. Hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend!
