It wouldn't be summer without a road trip. When my son was a scout I would pack him a box of goodies with a camping themed note to remind him how much I love him. He still goes on trips with his friends and I still sneak a note in his bag.
The National Parks stamp set includes four wood mounted rubber stamps. I inked up the images with Memento ink and colored the images with Copic Markers.
I die cut the images with a square die cut and then mounted them on a larger square. Maybe you picked up on this? I wanted the card to resemble a Polaroid.
The "Safe Travels" sentiment is from the Enjoy The Journey cling stamp set.
