Welcome
I made this card for a young boy who is very keen on archery.

I started by embossing only part of the Sycamore tree folder, and chalking the trunk and branches with a cotton bud (Q Tip)to make it look as though it is starting to leaf up, being spring here in the Antipodes.
The background was also coloured with chalks

To ensure the card looked authentic, I researched (Googled) the colours of the archery target before I started - four die cuts later (s/b circles through my trusty Cuttlebug) and I had the target, then some strips of brown card were added for the legs.

The arrow was stamped and gold embossed, then trimmed to fit the card.
The sentiment was also gold embossed, and the panel mounted on an orange base.
