Going Green

It's almost Friday & I survived another week of training.  I can finally say I've learned a couple things, so it isn't all a mystery.  Hopefully things will be clicking faster & faster & I'll discover I really can do this job!  Can't wait to move to my 1/2 time schedule.
ODBD Shining The Light Challenge HERE is to use mostly green or something recycled.  I knew I wanted to use my new stamp of Robert Frost's poem from Quote Collection 1, but took awhile to figure out what to do to make it into a card.  I inked the stamp with Memento markers Cottage Ivy & Rich Cocoa.  They stayed wet enough to clear emboss the image.  Then I added more green to the trees.  I scribbled the marker on an acrylic block & used a sponge to add the color to the edges.  Finally I decided to use 2 of the printed papers from American Crafts Botanical collection with a strip of white satin ribbon & lace.  The layers are mounted with foam tape & the card is finished off with the buttons.  Just realized this card qualifies for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge this week HERE, since I used the diagonal elements of buttons, ribbon & emboss.  I'd love to hear what you think.  Thanks for coming by.
