I decided to go with Mega flakes for the leaves on the tree, I used the flutterby glue to add to the stamp with a cosmetic sponge and then stamped onto the tree again and added the mega flakes. I also used my metallic cardstock for the sun. The challenge also had to make a matching envelope so I once again stamped onto the envelope first with my brown ink and this time instead of using the liquid glue I used my glue pen to add some glue to the leaves area and added my flakes, I feel like that may have worked better.
My card base was black so I left the bottom portion the card base, adding a white line for the road. Inks to the white background, using my home made cloud template for the sky.

We are enjoying a day in the mid 80's with less humidity, was able to go on a walk and not feel like I was going to pass out, that sure was nice. Hope you are having a nice weekend.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie

Thanks for the black mirror CS inspiration, Connie! I love your idea, and it certainly looks fantastic against the pale green and sky blue! The textures in your tree look amazing, and carried over into your envelope, too. I haven't seen TE website lately. Her truck is completely different from the others being featured on the www. wonderful card! hugs, de

So pleased to read you have some black mirror card now. Love this masculine card, the truck looks fabulous and such a great idea to use the flakes for the tree. Perfect envelope too.
Wow, look at this! That tree is a thing of beauty. You're always so good with the metal flakes. Also, I love, love the truck and have been wanting to add a truck to my die collection, but on a buying hold currently. The black mirror CS works perfectly!
