Spring Greens

Green isn't everyone's cup of tea, however, I had loads of green cardstock and wanted to use it. Of course, you can substitute for your favourite colour to suit your project.

The card base is 8x8 in cream from Papermania/DoCrafts. I used Hint of Sliver Centura Pearl for the next layer, 7 3/4 inch square. Dark green mirror board, (which may be from Creata), cut to 7 11/16 inches square.

I embossed an A4 sheet of smooth white 160 gsm card with an Embossilicious, (Crafters Companion), and cut it down to 7 7/16.
I rubbed over the top with an Evergreen Bough Distress Inkpad, (direct to paper) to pop the leaves, then used an Ink Duster and Bundled Sage Distress Ink around the edges.

Next the die-cutting. (I use a Grand Calibur).

• Spellbinders Foliage in green textured cardstock from Papermania,
• Spellbinders Labels 25 in Centura Pearl Hint of Silver, (Crafters Companion),
• Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25 in dark green mirror card,
• Spellbinders Moroccan accents, (corners and small flower centres) in Centura Pearl,
• Tonic Everyday Sentiments set 2, Birthday Wishes in green mirror board,
• Memory Box Petal Party in Centura Pearl,
• Spellbinders Die D-lites Blooms One, Medium and Large in Centura Pearl, the smallest  in Papermania green textured cardstock
• Heartfelt Creations Layered Scallop Posy, (small single flower only) in Centura Pearl.

Assembling the card.
I positioned the corners first.
Next layer up the labels 25 and add the sentiment. I adhered mine to the card base with foam for more dimension.
Layer up the flowers, I like to shape mine with a ball tool first. Finish with centre punched from dark green mirror board with a 1cm Papermania Mini Punch. Add a Cosmic Shimmer Spring Green PVA glue "pearl". Allow to dry.
I also used the glue to accent the Majestic Label.
Position the flowers and foliage as desired. Odd numbers in groups always look more natural.

I hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!
