This was harder than I thought, maybe I should have stuck to leaves, but somehow that seemed the obvious answer! Maybe I'll do something with leaves later in the week? Anyhow here's my green card.
I think I prefer this one - and as the grass was made up of 3 or 4 greens, maybe I've met the challenge (or maybe not quite enough white?).
My card uses SU Inspired by Nature - not sure if this was out in the UK, mine was from ebay, which was stamped in Lucky Limeade and Almost Artichoke, and I used some sage distress ink to sponge over some of the gaps to make it more greeny. I used broken china DI sponged from the top down - because the green grass against white sky just looked wrong! The sentiment is
inkadinkado, which I love in conjunction with the green grass and blue sky. The die is Cheery Lynn - small lace butterfly.
I'm also entering this in Samuel Taylor's April Challenge - green: http://samueltaylors.blogspot.co.uk/
Gorgeous cards Anna :-) the grass is lovely and the butterflies are beautiful ,, I do actually prefer the khaki butterfly ,,, :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter :-)

I prefer the blue butterfly too.
ReplyDeleteI think that colour of the second butterfly is more sympathetic to the rest of the colours in the card, which creates a lovely scene, but you are right, it is a little short on white space.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sentiment too!
Thank you so much and Happy Easter.

Both cards are lovely. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteShort of white space or otherwise, your card is delightful and I agree that the balance is better in the second
