This pandemic has certainly created some changes in our lives. People have lost loved ones, (not particularly from Covid 19), moved, taken new routes, grown closer or further apart, and tried to get on with their lives.
I feel like in many ways, we have realized what is truly important to us.
George and I have toyed with the idea of an RV for several years. It wasn't until we realized we wanted to spend the remainder of our years enjoying adventures together, along with the need to spend more time with family far away, that we settled on a Jayco Travel Trailer.
I thought it would be fun to tie my creativity into the journeys.
George would end up leaving me in the dust as I would stop and snap pictures with my phone.
I am hoping this turns out to be an adventure in creativity as well as a time for us to spend most of our time together, and with our cats, Nick and JJ.
Here is a video about this set and the cards I made while on a trip in my RV...

I printed the background in Gimp, at 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. I used the paper that matched the background of the sentiment. Sooo easy to create with these digitals! No wondering if they will go together, because they are created from the same paper. I love that ease. Of course, they stand on their own as well! I added the sentiment in place on the background.
I was just drawn to the Love Bird set to use with this background. The card went together easily when I used one of the color images. Of course you can also color these sweet birdies any color you like by printing the line image. I printed two birds, one on the background image and one printed separately. I then cut the second one out and in two, and then layered the pieces on top of the printed image on the background.
I added a Wink of Stella all over the birds.

I chose the far left column: Splash, Yellow and Emboss.
The splash part was the most difficult for me to interpret. I finally decided to grab some acrylic paint, mix it with a little water and make a splash!
While it was air drying, I printed the turtle from my Nature of the Beach Digital Stamp Set. You can find it in my Etsy shop. The images come pre-colored or color them yourself. Pre-colored digitals are handy for quick and easy cardmaking, journaling, scrapbooking, you name it.
The turtle was fussy cut, and embossed with clear EP. The sentiment is also from the set. I used my good old CTMH cloud stencil to create the waves with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink. The yellow ink on all the edges is Mustard Seed Distress Ink.
I created the background paper with my three leaves digi stamp, which is a freebie on The Artsystamper Addiction Facebook Page. Join the group to enjoy the freebies in the file there.
The final touch, after layering the design onto yellow cardstock, was Nuvo Drops in Blizzard.

I fussy cut a bit of the children image, and layered it over the scripted doily. I always love to ink the edges of the pieces with Distress Ink. I usually stick to earth tones for vintage pieces. I think I used Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide this time. I keep the Oxides in a vintage box on my desk, while the regular Distress Inks are in an old metal drawer unit across the room, so the Oxides get used more...can't keep everything on my desk! I also added a bit of alcohol marker around the edges of the images to add depth.
The final addition is an organdy ribbon bow that I "aged" with my heat tool. I just LOVE the effect it gives to the ribbon. I use Beacon Fabric glue to hole the folds of my ribbon down before I melt it.

I have been an artist all my life, starting with creating paper doll dresses and coloring outside the lines. Digital art and pastel portraits are my specialties.
