Orange Purple Black use 1 or more

 Morning all, time for a new challenge from Cardz4Guyz which I'm also sharing over at Uniko.

This time we have a colour challenge for you:-

USE one or more of ORANGE, BLACK or PURPLE

Here's what I made using Uniko's Nature's Treasures Stencil and all of the colours.

CAS is a great way to make a masculine card and as flowers are a bit of a no no for them too, I turned to leaves. In this case I used Nature's Treasures II stencil, some DIs,Wilted Violet, Black Soot, Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade and a sentiment from Organic Wishes.

I mostly used the smaller of the two stencils moving it around to create the look of an autumnal tree, inking onto an A6 top fold white card. I wasn't sure how the purple element would work out but I quite like it. Where it overlays the orange it gives a shade of brown but the purpley hues suggest depth and the black stencilling, shadows. The sentiment is quite ambiguous and could be used for a variety of occasions, including sympathy.

You don't have to use all of the colours like me but at least one has to feature prominantly. You could go down the Halloween route or perhaps like me autumn is more your vibe, the choice is yours, just make it masculine. The team have a few ideas should you need them here.

As I've use orange and purple in my design so I can share it over at Color Hues, The Paper Players are all for foliage and the mood board at JUGS has an autumnal feel too!
