I'm Crazy for Emeralds

Can you tell? For some explanation, check out my post over at The Sisterhood of Crafters! Today's card is part of my challenge there - to created a wedding/anniversary/congratulations card with Emerald as the feature color! Green's my favorite, so I hope you'll play along and give it a try. And if you have it in by Friday, I'll give you an extra entry for my blog candy!

Plus, there very generous Heather from Digisparkle has put up a voucher for this week's winner!




I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #67 for the layout and while you can't see much of the shimmer in the shimmer white paper, I know it's there ;) This was the first time inking up either the Verve Floral Symphony or SU! Well Scripted stamps and I do like the way they turned out. I used the Rock N Roll technique on the tulips and just love the saffron & pomegranate and the added dimension of the extra layers.

Stamps: Verve Floral Symphony, SU! Well Scripted
Paper: Garden Green, Purely Pomegranate, Whisper White, Shimmer White
Ink: Garden Green, Purely Pomegranate, So Saffron, Basic Black
Accessories: Buttons, Green Ribbon, Purely Pomegranate Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals

  2. Tanny - this is STUNNING! The colors are brilliant - is that a satin ribbon that you've stitched over? It's gorgeous! And so smooth and flat - I'd have to go for the wrinkled look 'cause I'd never get it that smooth. LOL! Love the rock and roll technique on the tulips too. WOW - this is absolutely gorgeous! Eye candy, girl! Love it!

  4. Tanny, this is incredibly beautiful. My Ben has a May bday too! I have an emerald he gave me years ago and I cherish it! The sentiment is just as gorgeous as the flower! Great job as hostess this week! :-)

  7. Yes, another lover of green. I loved it so much as a child I actually had a green shag carpet in my room (probably before you were even born LOL!) Lovely use of Karen's sketch and I love the two tone flowers. Great card :D
