This is the first color challenge that I have entered. Actually it is the first challenge that I have ever entered. I thought that this would be a nice masculine birthday card. I cut out around the top of the trees so that the card base is showing at the top and bottom and it adds texture and dimension. I stamped the trees using Always Articoke craft ink and filled in with Sage Shadow Marker on the leave and colored the trunks with a Creamy Caramel Marker. I also used craft ink on everything else because it shows up better. The creamy caramel craft ink showed up much better on the creamy caramel cs than I thought it would.
