MTS175 Camping Birthday

 

Hi everyone!  A little late this morning, but I did have some quiet stamping time today before going to Bible study, so I whipped up a birthday card for our minister, using the sketch from Match the Sketch:

And here we go:

I am not sure how much of a camper my minister is (or was), but I KNOW he loves a good campfire! When I saw these papers from Scrapberry's Forest line, I knew I had to incorporate them into his card!  Doesn't this fire look real?

I cut out the tent and trees from the same page of paper, then backed it with a circle of Always Artichoke and a Crushed Curry stitched ray from a die that was a gift to me:

I added a vellum banner backed with some of the same DSP and stamped a sentiment from a past Paper Pumpkin kit in Early Espresso and added some candy dots to finish it off!  I love how the sunrise seems to be peeking out from behind the tent!

And speaking of sunrise, it was nowhere to be found on this foggy morning a few days ago!  We walked to the bus stop:

but along the way, we noticed several spiderwebs in the swamp, covered with dew.  I don't particularly care for spiders, but I think their webs are amazing! 

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
