Green and red.

or

Blue & orange

Both are the same really blue, yellow & red.

Then add white if you want it lighter.

lol, I had to do this last week. After several attempts and each time ending up with a horrible sludgy greenish colour I finally did it using black and red with a little white to make it lighter. We too were doing reindeer hand print cards.

A lovely brown colour :)

I had the exact same quandry last week!

Squeeze in your red paint, about half as much for yellow, only a smidge of blue......bingo!

One of my best purchases this year was a tub of ready mixed brown paint! It has saved me hours!
