Dutch Dare Challenge #31

This week's Dutch Dare Card Challenge is to use blue/green and brown on your card. To me this screamed male card ... so out came Hamish and his tractor. This is such a fab stamp by Sugar Nellie and a fab one to use for this challenge.
I coloured him in a mix of aqua promarkers and promarkers and distressed him using papermania brown ink. All the papers are Basic Grey's Archaic. I cut the curvy bands out, following the lines of the paper and matted and distressed it. The sentiment is a Basic Grey Archiac rub-on. The buttons are from American Elements and the ribbon threaded through them is from my stash.

Lovely creation once again and of course you've used my very favourite BG range i.e. Archaic. You've also coloured the image beautifully. Hugs from Desire
