Shades of green


 Good morning, I'm hosting the challenge at Fab 'n' Funky  for this fortnight- 
my chosen theme is 

SHADES OF GREEN - my favourite colour.

I love this time of year when every day brings new growth and the trees start to wear their fresh green leaves, everything looks so vibrant and beautiful- especially when we're lucky enough to enjoy some early spring sunshine as we have here for the past couple of days.

My card is one layer, stamped and stencilled directly onto the card blank, the only colour I've used, apart from the black silhouettes is green, apart from a few details picked out with a gold liner pen. The fairy's wings are coloured with green sparkle pens, which doesn't really show...all of the stamps and the stencil are Lavinia.

I'm so looking forward to seeing lots of lovely green creations so I hope you'll find the time to join us this fortnight. There's some lovely inspiration for you over at Fab'n' Funky so please do take a look.


Thanks for visiting

Chris

  12. Such a serene and beautifully balanced scene. The fresh greens give the whole design a luminous spring energy, and the way the silhouettes settle into the stenciled background makes the fairy and foxes feel part of the same quiet moment. The touches of gold add just enough sparkle to draw the eye without disturbing the calm atmosphere.
