The Cameo Spotlight #3 ~ Color Challenge

Are you ready for the next The Cameo Spotlight challenge?  This time, Jackie is challenging us with a COLOR CHALLENGE!  The colors are a slate blue, light tan, and natural soft green.  For the challenge, remember you can also include neutrals like white, kraft, and black :)

For this card, I used a tree silhouette file from the Silhouette store (design #17677) and merged it with a circle shape to create a window.  The rolling hills background was also done on the Silhouette (easy to draw free hand with the curve feature).  

  

I enjoy making my own cut files most and rarely use purchased files as is.  That's the case with this tree.  In addition to merging it with the circle, I did a bit of tree trimming!  By that I mean, I did some point editing of the branches to get rid of the smaller cut areas and to reshape the tree trunk.  So easy to get exactly what you want!     

I used vellum (with a bit of blended ink) for the sky background and cardstock (with more blended ink) for the hill piece.  To give it one last detail, I debossed the cut overlay with a woodgrain impression plate.   Texture always seems to make a card look finished! 

Click on over to The Cameo Spotlight challenge site to see more challenge Silhouette creations from the TCS DT!  Then it will be your turn to create your own card or tag and link up:)  Can't wait to see what you create!   

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mahalo and aloha,
