Hey, y'all!  Are you ready for the latest Color Throwdown challenge?  I hope so!

Tammy is our hostess with the mostess this week and has chosen a super cool and versatile combo for us to play with.

I decided to go whimsical this week!  I couldn't wait to ink up one of my newest stamps from Taylored Expressions - Up a Tree.  How adorable!  It just so happens that one of our grandsons has a birthday coming up and he's definitely an outdoors-type of guy.  He'll really love this!

I colored my tree canopy with Copic markers and then, using a negative mask, overstamped it with an old (retired) background stamp.  I love the way it turned out!  It's very similar to the patterned flowers in the inspiration photo.

I also used the Cloudy Days Background stamp and a sentiment from the new Adventure Land set as well.

My layout is from the latest and greatest retrosketches#29:
