I assembled my card using green cardstock for the base, and adhered the images using foam tape for some dimension! 

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen and a little glitter!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Color Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
