Adventure Time......

SOS Headquarters

Hello everyone: I hope all of you are doing well, it's been 2 months and 6 days since we're out having fun, visiting family, friends and neighbors, we're only going out for a few groceries when it's needed so I know how hard it is to stay put but we know it's for the best, let's all be patient and help out the brave soldiers in the front lines of this Pandemic by not getting sick ourselves, let's also pray for every single one of them and for the millions around the world who've lost someone they loved.
Staying apart is the only way to be together again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The SHOPPING OUR STASH team has a fun challenge for all of us who have been feeling a bit isolated inside our homes and want to travel somewhere, even if it's only in our minds or through our card making hobby, the theme is TRAVELING, makes you wish, uh?
This is the card I made to inspire you to play along.


These images are from a 2004 Stampin' Up! set called "Loads of Love" and "Loads of Love Accessories", fabulous to create fun cards for any occasion.
The truck, the happy couple inside and the doggies in the back are part of this set, the cute little camper is from a Flourishes set called "S'more Fun", I inked up the trailer only using a gray SU marker, and using the MISTI I stamped the door in front of the open door on the image to make it look like it's closed, because, well....after all, it's supposed to be moving.  
The background was stamped with an old Flourishes set called "Mountain View" (2013), it has a majestic buck in the foreground but I just inked the mountains and pines, doing the "Mirror Stamping" technique for the other side of the panel.
I colored everything with Prismacolor pencils and a bit of sponging for the grass and sky, the birds are from another SU set called "Up, Up and Away" (2011-2012).

*******************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.


The sentiment is from the same Flourishes set I used to create the mountains, the tree is from the same SU on the front.

I hope you come and visit the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge blog and get even more inspired by the beautiful creations of my awesome teammates.

Stay healthy and safe.
XO
Maria.

I do wish, and this is just as cute as can be! I love how perfectly the two stamp sets match up and, of course, that you loaded up the dogs in the pick up bed. How adorable and fun! I can't wait to get out in our motorhome again!
