With encouragement, from Cheryl, I am going where I have never been before, entering TWO challenges. Thank you Cheryl.
I didn't have Island Indigo so I used Pacific Point instead. I added a hint of Paynes grey to the sides of the tree, for shadow, and to the branches of the trees.
As this card was for my husband, I added the truck. I want to thank Tessaduck for showing me that these colours can be used on a masculine card.
I used the birch tree embossing folder and stamped and cut out the tiny bird from the Sitting There stamp set. I added a black dot for eyes and then covered them in Crystal glaze. The truck is from a Christmas stamp set I bought at Michaels. I added some white gel pen strokes to the windows and other areas to brighten the white areas on the truck. The grass is stroked Pool Party. The other colours on the trees are Flirty Flamingo and Pacific Point. The jewels were ones I had in my stash and they have the look of the Pacific Point colour. I embossed the band behind the art piece with the birch folder. I also cut out one tree to get the tree on the far left a raised look so it looks to be in front of the truck.
