The first thing that occurred to me when I saw the color challenge was cowboys. So here's my cowboy card After I got started I thought, "Now why am I not doing a patriotic card? This one's gonna be red, white, & blue!" but I figured that cowboys are a kind of iconic American image so there you go. The "Adventure" sentiment just seemed to fit.
Not sure if I like how the different-colored shirt thing turned out on here, but hey, I tried it. I inked the stamp with Blue Bayou ink, then used a Q-Tip to remove the ink from the cowboy's shirt and colored it in with a red marker. That's all there was to it.
The card is 5x5 square; the little tab on the Blue Bayou layer holds the card closed.

This is wonderful! I love how the red shirt turned out! When I first glimpsed the card, that is the first thing that struck my eye and I was trying to figure out how to do that for myself!
