Something about the August 2018 Club La-La Land kit, with it's camping stamps and dies, has put me in the mood to create simple Distress ink scenic backgrounds...
These stamps and dies work BEAUTIFULLY for creating scenes. I LOVE that! And the animals are so much fun to color!
I kept the background on this one really simple... I started by spongeing on some Distress ink to create the ground... I went with a couple shades of brown, and a yellow where I wanted my fire to be. I then blended on the sky.. I didn't bother masking, I just let the ground fade into the sky. I did mask the ground off before flicking my Perfect Pearls/ water mixture at the sky to create the stars... Nice and simple, yet very effective!
I wanted to have lots of dimension, so only the bear is glued directly onto the front panel... Marci and the fire have one layer of foam tape, and the raccoon has two layers of foam tape. By doing this and overlapping the various elements, you get the sense of a lot of depth.
I have been really loving creating galaxy skies.. I have been seeing other people do it for quite some time, but hadn't really found the right card to try it on.. These camping cards have been PERFECT for this!
I wanted my sentiment in the sky, but I didn't want to mount it on anything... so I chose to heat emboss it in white so it would really pop against the dark sky.

This background has more masking, but it's still very simple... I hand cut some mountains and the lake edge from masking paper... then it was just a matter of masking various portions of the card and blending on the inks.
I wanted this card to be a fishing card instead of a campfire card, so I took the stick from the Roasting Marshmallow die, and instead of adding the marshmallow, I tied a string to the end. I then cut a tiny slit in my water and threaded the other end of the string through and secured it to the back of the panel. A few sketched in water rings, and you are ready for some fishing!
In order to create a good sense of depth, I added some foam tape behind the moose and his fishing pole (since he is the object closest to us, he would pop out the most) and I did some inlay die cutting for the camper (Die cut the camper out of the background, then nestled the colored camper into the negative space). This helps the camper recede into the distance because it is flush with the card panel instead of stick up.
And, if you look close, you can see some faint stars in the sky... I didn't want them to be over powering or distracting, so I used a sponge to pounce on a little white ink to the Shine Bright background and stamped it over my sky... You only notice the stars when the light hits it right... I love that subtle detail!
