My favourite green again


Hello again - This is the first card I've made for months and months, apart from my OSAAT design team cards. I got this wonderful freebie from Beccy Muir and decided to enter her March challenge over at Beccy's Place. I've also entered the 'green' challenge at Digi Haven  and in to the forum challenge 'corners' at Joanna Sheen's website.

My card is a large square blank from Joanna Sheen. The pale green card, matted on to dark green card and both from Papermill, has been embossed with a Crafters Companion Embossalicious folder. The corners are by Spellbinders and the filigree heart is by Memory Box. I generated the sentiment on the computer and used Spellbinders dies again! The colour green and dies are my most favourite crafting things, oops, plus Promarkers - which I used to colour the image. Distress Ink is smudged on the edges.

I can't believe that I've actually made a card outside of the design team. I've had many ups and downs over the past few months and have felt awful at times but with the help of my many friends I'm hoping for more ups over the coming months. I'm going to try and chat a bit more on my blog so forgive me in advance if I begin to bore you - I'm sure you'll tell me (please). My son, daughter in law and I are viewing a house tomorrow. We can't buy it until I sell mine but at least we can start a list of possibles. My son breeds Staffordshire Bull Terriers so we need to be away from neighbours. This has given me something to look forward to and has almost given me a new lease of life. I'll let you know how things go. Thanks to all my followers for the lovely comments you leave me and for spurring me on these past few months.

  11. You did a fantastic job colouring the grapes Hazel, I love the shine you added to each grape... really gives them shape. I really like the sentiment you added as well, it's a clever way to link the image with the theme. Well done.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
