I am excited to be hopping today for the first time on the Blogging Friends Blog Hop. The theme is “Green with Envy” and we have been invited to share a project using our favourite green. We have so many greens in our palette, it is difficult to choose.
My Project
In the end I decided to go with some Granny Apple Green
The gorgeous ombre effect DSP comes from the bright and glorious Artistry Blooms Designer series Paper collection. To give it some extra texture, I embossed it with the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder. I love this folder. It gives such detail.
I then took 2 stitched whisper white labels and set about transforming them with my Granny Apple Green ink pad.
Sponge the background 
Add some clear embossing 
Stencil over the top with a dauber 
Colour half of the ribbon with a Stampin’ Blend
The heat embossing in the background just adds a little subtle shine and different tone of Granny Apple Green in the foliage image that was stamped from the “Lovely You” stamp set.
Inky fingers and an inky mat later, I was ready to stamp some foliage and flowers from the “Lovely You” stamp set onto the smaller mat and add a couple of flowers that had been fussy cut. I added the “Let’s cheer you up” greeting.
Once it was all layered up and a bow added in my striped ribbon. I just finished it off with a scattering of gold glitter enamel dots.
Ready to Hop?
I hope you have enjoyed my project and are ready to go and see what every one else has created. Do leave them a comment as you stop by.
