Color Hues #105 - GREEN & WHITE

Hello friends and Happy March!  Our sweet hostess Carol has chosen the color combo of GREEN & WHITE for us to work with here at Color Hues for the next two weeks.

Two of our 3 daughters have birthdays in March, so this color combo seemed very appropriate for our middle daughter who loves the color green AND gnomes.  Here's what I came up with...

I made a book binding fold (scored at 1 1/2" from the center of card base in the landscape design and glued shut from the inside 1 1/2" section) for this card.  My little gnome is from an older SSS kit called Gnome for the Holidays and I used PTI's Bitty Big Green Parakeet dsp to cut out the gnome's hat and for the background pieces.  Before I sealed the inside piece shut, I added a ribbon piece and then added my die cut "happy" (HB - Bitty Buzzwords Stamps & Dies) that I once again added a piece of packing tape to before die cutting so the "happy" was shiny.  So my gnome would stand out against the plaid background I added a white circle (PFS - Diagonal Stitched Circle Dies) with the inside of the circle stenciled with Gina K's Festive stencil in light gray.  

  To finish, I added a black strip that I embossed "BIRTHDAY" on, and then also added some silver pearls.  I think my daughter will get a kick out of it!

The DT and our Special GD Nance have some awesome cards to share with you using this color combo, so check it all out right HERE and then play along with us...we'd love to see YOU in the gallery!  This challenge is open till Friday, March 14th @ 9:00AM.
