Green, Green and more green!

It seems that there are a lot of challenges around for using green.  I suppose that makes sense as St Patricks day is just around the corner.  I've departed from the St Paddy's day theme though and done an early Mothers Day card!




I've used the retired Sage Shadow here as the base with mats of Handsome Hunter also retired, then using glossy card stock and some reinkers, I've created my own Designer paper with Sage Shadow, Handsome Hunter, Taken with Teal and a drop of Baja Breeze, the photo shows this a lot 'bluer' than it is.  

I rumaged around in my stash of flowers and found some greens and greenish blues to add to the card and have used the filagree brads from Stampin' Up!  I also sprayed the Silver Foil Smooch spritzer onto a white flower,  it turned out quite a dark antique silver in colour, which looks quite nice against all the greens and brighter slivers of the embossing and bling.

This little Cherry Tilda is so cute, I think this is the thrid card I've made using her.  I don't often join in the Magnolia challenges as they scare me!  I don't turn out the masterpieces that I see entered on the site so I'm being very brave here!  



This card is entered into the following challenges...

Just Magnolia ~ Sketch

The Shabby Tea Room ~  Use Green

Easy Craft Projects ~ Use Green

I'd love to know what you think, and if you have any tips for colouring with Copics, please feel free to share them with me (I can use all the help I can get).

Happy crafting for 2011

A while back, I posted a few flowers that I'd done with my first purchase of Copic markers. I finally got up enough courage to try a 'Tilda' and here she is, I'm going to have to practise some more with my shading, but overall I'm pretty happy with the first attempt. I've decided to enter her into the Just Magnolia challenge as it's an anything goes challenge.

Hope you like my little Cherry Tilda! I've gone for my all time favourite colour combo of Teal and Purple {any shades of it, just LOVE it.}
