I managed to get in four challenges today: the CC, using granny apple green, coastal cabana and shaded spruce. I only had one (granny apple green) so had to sub; yesterday's F4A, make a square card (no problem); yesterday's MIX, use stencils to find your way (I used three); and today's IC. I can't copy and paste the past three days directly into a post (the paste part won't come up), not sure why, I was inspired a sprig of greenery called 'fresh day mix greenery bush' and a eucalyptus wreath.
I think this is pretty self explanatory. I called the card what I did because I have loved all shades of green for years. I don't use green a lot as a main color but as an accent and I never tire of it. I barely remembered to add a circle to the CC challenge for extra points and I thought it looked pretty to stagger the leaves in the circle, sponging them with the three colors. I cut that die four times for dimension. The Opal Paste is kind of a blending of all the colors, a little blue, a little green and it is color changing, depending on the light. It is gorgeous irl. The glitter paste is in the left hand upper corner, through a stencil also.

What a truly stunning card this is Jean with a fabulous sentiment too. I think the color green represents new life (think new leaves in the springtime) and you have rocked the greens on this glorious card. I love the texture and sparkle and this wonderful die cut circle with the leaves too! ~Karen.

my aunt and uncle own a business called "shades of green" landscaping... so, I just love this Jean for many reason's but, I thought I would toss that part in just because.

So Awesome! Jean, you had me at green. I like your title and the incredible stenciling you have done on this is a wonderful combination of textures, colors, patterns and sparkle!
