"trails", "dinos", & "martian hello" cards

I took a blogging break for a few months because the school year has been so busy!  

Definitely had ideas for this color challenge, though!

Challenge/contest time again!  

This one is for: www.papersmoochesstamps.com >> 

The challenge was to use this color combo for a card/project:

Here's my take on THREE! cards:

The oranges, yellow, and green made me think of different forms of desert: southwest, prehistoric, and martian.  :)  I added brown/off-white to the palette because I consider those colors as neutrals.

Supplies:
various colored cardstocks, hand-cutting (mesa rocks, ground, and planet's surface), Copic markers, black Sharpie, white gel pen, funky circles Cuttlebug die (for desert sun).  I simply crumpled up the 'planet surface' cardstock for some extra texture.

Stamps:
cactus, hat, "happy trails", stegosaurus, triceratops, leaves, rocks, heart, "you are awesome", aliens, stars, planet/moon -- Paper Smooches/


Thanks for taking a look!
