Cards For All Seasons IG Hop - Week 18

Hello friends; I hope you're having a great week so far. I'm back today to share my card for this week's Cards for All Seasons IG hop organised by my lovely friend Kelly. We are now on Week 18 and our theme is 'the great outdoors'. Such a fun theme this week; think camping, tents, campfires, bears, etc. There are going to be so many awesome creations along the hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.

I managed to get my hands on this fun camper van stamp & die set from Heffy Doodle before it closed and had never used it so I thought it would be perfect for this week's theme.  It's a tiny set that also includes a sentiment, a small tree and some silhouette flying birds (the 'tick' style ones). The layout was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest.  I think it turned out super cute and I hope you like it too. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the camper van:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the camper van onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured it with Promarkers, added a few white gel pen highlights and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I also stamped 9 of the trees in 2 shades of green ink and again used the matching die to cut them out.  I cut a brown panel of card 3 15/16" x 5 3/16" and used a very old cuttlebug embossing folder for some texture.  I added it to a kraft mat layer that was cut to 4" x 5 1/4" with liquid glue. I cut the orange patterned paper 3 1/16" x 4 1/4" and again adhered it to a kraft layer with liquid glue.  The checked paper was cut to 1 9/16" x 4 15/16" and matted onto a kraft layer with liquid glue.  I added the paper layers to the embossed panel with liquid glue.  I die cut a circle from kraft card and stamped the sentiment at the very bottom using a dark brown ink pad (the birthday came from another set).  I added the trees with liquid glue and the camper van with foam squares.  The circle was adhered to the lower right corner of the panel with foam squares.  For a final finishing touch I added some orange and green enamel dots.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel for stability and dimension and then adhered it to the card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut a white panel 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and adhered it to a kraft mat with liquid glue.  I added a strip of orange paper to the top and a strip of the checked paper to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue.  I added 2 of the trees and another camper van to the bottom left corner with liquid glue.  Finally I stamped a sentiment in the centre with dark brown ink. The panel was adhered to the card base with double sided tape.
