Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!
Today I'd like to share a card that I made that has a green color scheme. I used a green distressed cardstock for the background and ivory for the base card.
I added some torn music paper (from Penny Black...it's gorgeous - not new - but it's one of the few that she has done. She has this in both the beige and the white. The previous card I made just before this one (with the mirror) also uses some Penny Black paper only it has gold foil writing instead of music.
I edged the music with forest moss distress ink and glued to the background paper. I punched out10 leaves from dark green Bazzill cardstock and embossed them. Doesn't the embossing look great? This is actually a TWO PUNCH SET. The first punch punches out the shape and the second one embosses it. I love the way the leaves come out. I spray a fine mist of water (just a little) on the punched leaves before I emboss them to make the embossing go a little easier. I attached my leaves with mounting tape. (You can find these great punch sets on http://www.franticstamper.com/dutchpunch.htm. These are dutch punch sets.)
I added some crotchet ribbon on both the top and bottom of the card. I love the way crochet looks. It gives the feel of Victorian days, doesn't it? I added little green pearl hearts to the center of the leaf clusters. I finished it with a beige ribbon and bow.
I hope you liked this card. Come back again!
