The silhouette trees against the night sunset makes we wish I was camping. BUT then I get up from my chair, slowly feeling aches and pains of old-er age and am thankful for my home and comfortable bed. hehe....my card....
Joan and Julie...thanks for a great challenge. I never would have thought to try something like this. I used two Rubbernecker Stamps for my images.
I first stamped the image with the trees, clear eb'ing it. Made a mask, put it on the cut out and eb the rectangle scallop shape using a nestie. Left the frame on and stamped the heart bg image over top, clear eb'ing. Removed the masks and nestie.
Coloring was done with re-inkers. When I say "re-inkers" I don't necessarily mean I have a bottle of ink for every stamp pad, almost but not all. Plus I'd have to find them. Anyway, what I do is rub my stamp pad on top of my pallet block or you could use your acrylic block, then use that ink as your re-inker. Works like a charm.
Cut out a piece of Tim Holtz dp cutting a scallop edge on one side, then put it on a white AC card popping up my image panel. OH, forgot. I doodled the edges of the scallops and chalked around the images spraying with a fixative.
Fun challenge. Hope you like what I came up with......TFL :0)

I love your"camping" scene, Cathy!! Actually for me, I seem to sleep better on the camping bed, must be the fresh air! I still love the camping or "living in the dirt", but I sure do love my modern convenience of a toilet that only I use and the closeness of it. hehehe Your composition of the Great card is wonderful!! Your creativity continues to amaze and impress me!!
I'll remember this card while camping at Big Sur in June.
