Going Green

Mornin', y'all!  I can't believe it's the last week of March already.  Yesterday I did an SU! order so I could get some of the newer Sale-a-Bration offerings...I can't wait to get my hands on the Painted Seasons paper and matching stamp set :D  But in the meantime, I pulled out some stamps I got last summer when the current catalog was first introduced.


Shaded Spruce, how do I love thee?  Let me count the ways!  Green is my favorite color, and Shaded Spruce is a particularly beautiful shade of green.  In our last house, we painted the computer room a similar color, and it had a white chair rail and white beadboard on the bottom half so the green wasn't oppressive.  I loved it. 

Anyway, today's card started with the Fab Friday sketch:


Love it, love it.  And then I couldn't resist the color challenge from As You See It:


I managed to resist using the Tropical Escape DSP and went with the beautiful Nature's Poem instead.  And I love Granny Apple Green, but I didn't want to to get too loud and overpower the other colors, so I just did a bit of watercoloring with it on my die-cut leaves.  Pretty pleased with how this turned out and happily for me it didn't take long at all to do.

That's it for me today, peeps.  Cheers!

    This stamp set is my favourite from the annual catalogue and you've done it proud here. I especially like the two-tone leaves. Such pretty DSP too. Thanks for playing along with us at As You See It, Christy.

    Christy, I love the strong frame in Shaded Spruce and the way it gives definition to the smaller designs in the body of the card.! Thanks for joining us as As You See It Challenges this week!
