Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
So many challenges this month asking for green.
I've been thinking spring so I pulled out a pastel mint green and used a
NBUS 3d embossing folder to get the background. Sponging with white ink
makes the leaves stand out even more.
I matted it with some gold foil and die cut this sweet dragonfly.
I love all the detail on his wings and body.
Challenges:
Color Hues #59 - Green and Gold
Double D - Everything's Coming Up Green
NBUS #48 - Never Before Used Schtuff (embossing folder)
Card Recipe
Stamps: Uplifting Phrases (Rubbernecker)
Ink: Mint Macaroon, Whisper White
Paper: Neenah Solar White, Gold Foil, Mint Macaroon
Other: Leafy 3D EF (SPL), Etched Dragonfly Die (SSS)
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteCAS and absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie! I love the touch of white over the embossing...it really does make those leaves stand out more! The simple gold matting and the sweet little dragonfly in gold really POP against the green, and I too love that vertical sentiment!

ReplyDeleteLove the green and gold combination. A great idea to sponge a bit of white over the raised leaves of the embossing folder.
ReplyDeleteThe 3D leaves EF is gorgeous Bonnie, and a great idea to add the white on the leaves which does make them stand out, and such a pretty gold foil die cut dragonfly and matted layer behind the green, also what a super sentiment. x

ReplyDeleteOh how gorgeous - love the gold and green combination Bonnie, and all the texture you have incorporated

I do love that color green - And I really love the embossing with the white sponging. Another thing I need to try. I will put that on my list - now where did I put my list?!

The subdued shade of green (mint macaron) adds so much elegance to this color combo, Bonnie! The 3D embossed leaves with soft white sponging are beautiful, and you chose the perfect sentiment for the vertically-long white space!
