Summer Camp Week 3


This is my first card for the Summer Camp week 3 I used the technique on the video today to add color to the image. It was first embossed in clear on watercolor paper,  the image is from Outlines. I used pumice stone, antique linen, walnut stain and barn door on the image panel.

This week Wyatt and I are battling a little head cold I can't decide if it a cold or the result of all the smoke we have been dealing with due to the Holly Shelter fire. It's been about 3 weeks and although last I heard it was 80% contained finally it has burned 30,000 + acres. As a result depending on the winds we have experienced very heavy smoke on a number of days and ash. The dogs smell like smoke and the house does as well. Yuck! We have tried to keep the kids inside on the worst days, but it's been a challenge for Wyatt who loves to play outside.  We went yesterday to get Lainey weighed and were excited to see that she has gained 12 ounces in 2 weeks! She is now 14.14lbs, so we have the all clear from the doctor to keep doing what we are doing!  Check back tomorrow for another distressed card, my fingers are still inky!
