This is a buckle card I created for the Free For All Challenge and using the colors for this weeks color challenge as well.
I stamped the tree using brown ink, then added color with watercolor crayons and making it shimmer by blending using gold glimmer mist for the technique challenge this week. Notice the shrubbery? I inked the tree with Old Olive ink and generation stamped it for the undergrowth. The sentiment is stamped using rich cocoa ink. I punched the leaves from the cs and then used gold smooch to highlight them before attaching to the main panel. I colored the ribbon with my Copic Marker and sprayed it with the shimmer mist as well, then added the shimmery brad.

You've really brought out the richness of these colors! I'm intrigued by the idea of a buckle card too. At first I thought you'd used flowersoft on your tree, it's a lovely effect!
