Waterfront Evergreen Forest

Happy Weekend! 

 It's going to be a hot one in Wisconsin.  It's supposed to be in the 90s.  I hate the hot and humid weather.  Guess I'll be staying inside as much as I can.  

A forest of evergreens.  Isn't this typical of Northern Wisconsin?  This would make a great masculine card.  Birthday?  Father's Day?

I used three different shades of green for the evergreens. Pear Pizzazz, Shade Spruce and Garden Green.  The top layer of trees, I used the Pear Pizzazz because it's the lightest color and in real life, the sun would shine on those more.  Then for the others, I mixed the remaining two colors together.  I added only a few more Pear Pizzazz for depth.

The mountains and water are just one color each.  Pool Party and Crumb Cake.  I just stamped off several time to get the color dimension.  This kept the eye more on the trees which was my card focus.  

The Wood Textures dsp pack was the perfect paper for this card.  I was go glad to see the pack was carried over to the new Occassions Catalog!  Paper doesn't get carried over too much.

The trees was a perfect touch to add to the card inside.  The Happy Birthday is from Sunshine Sayings stamp set.  I wanted to keep it simple with the evergreens.

These are the colors I used in the card.  I'm liking them.
