Green and Pink .

Good morning everyone, 

Hope this Friday morning finds you well. 

We have rain, and how wonderful it is, it rained all night .

This morning it has been wonderful walking the dogs, the grass looks 

green, the air is moist and the smell...oh it is so fresh...perfect 

A magical way to start the day....

Onto something crafty,

Today it is the start of a new Fussy and Fancy Challenge 

Our theme is 

Green and Pink .

Here is what I created 

I used the wonderful Jeans Flowers stamp set from Hobby Art 

I started by creating the background....

This is the same technique that I used on the poppy card a few weeks ago...(Donna you asked how to create it )

I used a piece of stencil card, and brushed some light green ink over.

Start from the middle of the card and brush outwards...

We aim to keep some white space 

I repeated with a darker green ink 

I stamped the main, floral image 

And then added some background stamping

Using first and second generation .

Next , I added the sentiment and a black sharpie edge. 

On separate card I stamped  the floral stamp and a couple of butterflies. 

I added some colour using my Spectrum Noir pencils and then cut the images out. 

I always assemble my card before adding any embellishments or decoupage...

It is one thing I have noticed at workshops is that ladies add all the layers, glitter etc then have to turn over 

to add glue and attach it to the card blank 
It is far easier , and gives a more professional finish to build up the layers at the end. 

Here is a closer look 

And from the side 

A small Bakers twine bow just finishes off the design
