Kre8tors March 2020 Hop

3/8/2020

Welcome to the Kre8tors March 2020 Hop in which we are participating in a Green Monochromatic Colour Challenge.

I am so happy to be back after another visit to Scotland to get ready to Register as a Nurse in Texas! Now I just face a couple of exams and the looooong process will be done! But for now I am enjoying some time in my craft room - which is still all a bit new and exciting after it's post Hurricane Harvey refurb!

Anyway - enough of my waffling :) and on to todays project.

When I'm faced with the challenge of creating a Monochromatic card I have a wee panic. So, I thought I would go down the 'green' and 'March' route and create a St. Patrick's Day project. But, as I was tidying up card kits from my card buffet I wondered if I could recreate a few of those cards in greens.

Here are the results....

This card was initially a 'Happy Easter' card on this week's card buffet...I didn't think I could use green for the bunny or the chick in the 'Welcome Easter' stamp set, so I used the lamb and changed the card a little into a baby card.

I added a little Wink of Stella to the sheep to give it a little something - but you can't quite see it in the photo.

The next card began on the buffet with a Calypso Coral colour palette (and CASE'd from Windy Ellard), but I changed it to Pear Pizzazz. I used the Noble Peacock Foil Paper and the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder for the background layer - it turned out really pretty - it was almost sad to cover it up (but it's an idea I'll keep in my head for another time).

The next card on card buffet this week was inspired by a card created by Monika Davis and was originally in So Saffron and Sahara Sand. I used the original leaf colour of Mossy Meadow as the base for the green version, stamping off the smaller flowers before stamping on to the image...so this card only uses Mossy Meadow, although the layer of Vellum and the stamping off create some lighter green tones :)
