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!

Robin, we May people must think alike. I almost used my green foil paper too. It was not easy using just the emerald color and a neutral. Great take on the sketch for this stylish card. Love your font dies....just lovely. TFS

Well at least you have a pretty color to work with, Robin. My color is topaz, and that's why I didn't play today. Blah...Beautiful use of the emerald for a Christmas card! Lovely embossing and font~ A real winner!

What a striking card! I found the sketch so challenging I didn't even think of using it let alone combining it with another 'difficult' challenge. What a beauty this is! That lovely sentiment looks splendid above the curve of flowers. What a nice transition between the two sections that die cut makes!
