Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Jan to host this week and she has my favourite, a sketch challenge for us to work with:
As soon as I saw Jan's sketch, I knew it would be perfect for another outing with my Friendly Foliage bundle. The collection of monochromatic greens over at The Card Concept influenced the colour scheme for my clean and layered card - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I chose a strip of Florals In Bloom DSP for my horizontal strip, as it included lots of greens and the leaf shape ties in with the overall theme. I stamped my foliage square in Shaded Spruce onto two-tone cardstock - this is a great way to introduce a lighter shade of Granny Apple Green and lets the diecut stand out a little more from the background. I placed a piece of Shy Shamrock behind the open aperture for another pop of contrasting green:
Some green enamel dots and a get well sentiment from the same set complete my card. I love shades of green and find it a restful colour, so I think it works well for a pick-me-up card.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
