Fun challenge today! I admit, I don't use brown or kraft very often, so that's about all I used here & the colors seem perfect for a masculine card & that's the direction I went.
I stamped, colored & die cut the tractor, added a couple of mats behind it then a larger bg of chocolate & white polka dot paper. The greeting was stamped on a tag & tied w/ baker's twine & a Candi dot in the upper right finishes it.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Spectacular work here, Julie. Love that tractor and the perfect sentiment you have paired with it. Also appreciate the layers and that one that looks like a map. Cute Cute!

Awesome! I dig this one. My DS was so into tractors and digging as a kid, it reminded me of him. He's an adult now. Great job with the kraft and brown today. TFS
