Hi all, I am a May baby boomer. My birthstone is the Emerald. The only Emerald paper I have is this mirror finish metallic and it is not easy to photograph, in fact, I thought it might come out looking black but mostly it DOES look emerald green. I used the sketch for this week as well. It was not easy doing just my birstone and one neutral was it? I finlly came up with this.
Thanks for looking!

Your beautiful card has all the depth and clarity of a GOOD emerald with that metallic paper, Robin. Love how you used yesterday's sketch for the design.

Very pretty, and your photo looks great. We May babies got the best color, didn't we? (except for Jan. - Garnet, and July - Ruby!!)

Super stunning Robin! Oh how I love this wonderful paper and the great trim you used around your Merry Christmas sentiment. Wonderfully done in the Emerald green.

It wasn't easy, was it! I can't say I was very happy with all I could come up with, but then colour challenges and me are like oil and water. Your emerald green paper is gorgeous and looks even richer with the embossing. This is really beautiful, Robin.
