St. Patty's Day Green seems to be the color of the month for many of the online challenges. I do love green but I usually reserve it for leaves and assorted greeneries when it comes to cardmaking. I decided to do something a bit different for today's card, inspired by the current Seize the Birthday prompt to use three shades of green.
I pulled out a layering stencil and three shades of Distress Oxide inks to create the background of my card.
You really can't go wrong with products from The Greetery. I used Betsy's square dance stencil to create the background. I'm sure you're noticing that I didn't get it lined up correctly however it's still quite striking. I die cut the florals three times and stacked them for some dimension. I white embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock and used the coordinating die to cut out the word Happy and created a strip with Birthday. I was fairly generous with the bling this time around, sprinkling in a mix of green and clear rhinestones. I have a friend with a March birthday who will be receiving this card in a couple of weeks.
Supplies:
The Greetery - Square Dance stencil set
The Greetery - Opposites Attract stamp and die set
The Greetery - Written in Ribbons stamp set
Penny Black - Flower Flock die
Studio Katia - Mint Dream jewels
Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends. _____________________________________________________________________________
