A campsite! Maybe that's where you're spending your weekend. Or if your crafting supplies don't quite stretch to campsite appropriate material, you can create anything related to woods: use a woodgrain print or wooden elements.
I went for a classic: canoeing into a campsite at sunset:
I ♥ these images from Stampscapes! (The canoeists are a tiny separate stamp.) It is far too easy to let the large image carry the entire load of making the card, so I decided to add a little extra something with a double mat and some patterned papers. The image panel is stamped, embossed and coloured on watercolour paper.
You really should check out the other creations of the Yellow Canaries for this week's challenge! You might be able to guess who likes camping... and who doesn't. :P (Although I suppose you'd never tell from my card that I'm not a big camping fan.) Why not come and join us around the campfire with your camping project?
P.S. I almost forgot that I was going to add this card to a couple of other challenges! Simon Says Stamp is having one of their Anything Goes weeks; and Shopping Our Stash wants a card For the Boys.
Supplies: blue, navy & Stampin' Up Naturals white cardstock, Kaisercraft Check In & Crate Paper Acorn Avenue patterned papers, Stampscapes Lakeside Cove & Paddlers stamps, Versafine onyx black ink, clear embossing powder, Grumbacher watercolours, pop-dot tape
