This is my second card for the Color Challenge that I am hosting. My colors are: Poppy Parade, Lost Lagoon, Copper Clay. The dessert option is to add a fourth color.
With a last name of Carpenter, this was a bundle I had to purchase for my collection. It is retired now but I still use it for fun. I stamped and die-cut the tools. I colored with Granite Gray blends markers for the metal part of the tools. I colored the handles with Blends or Stampin Write markers. I did give the hammer a little red along with the Copper Clay handle so that each of the colors would be on the tools. I had to substitute Bermuda Bay blends markers for the Lost Lagoon. (I thought I had bought that color).
The measuring tape was cut off the DSP. The washi tape strips were die-cut from solid areas of the DSP.
I made this card for my DH, too. The sentiment is perfect for us. We met for the first time in our college parking lot. He rescued me from a BIG bug that had gotten into my car. I liked him the first time I saw him.
I hope you will work on something creative with these colors and have fun. TFL

Excellent "manly" design! Love the story behind the tool/stamp/die set. Your color/shading is perfect. The design is not only fun but also heartfelt...
