Splash of Emerald

I'm one of the many people who love the splash of color challenges.  This week's PDCC splash is Emerald Green.  It just so happens that I have 8 jars of Lumiere Metallic Acrylic paints including Pearl Emerald.  I've had them for over 10 years & they just sit in my craft closet.  I've admired some backgrounds done with paints & decided this was the time to give it a try.  I used a foam brush to swipe it onto a scrap of white cardstock & let it dry over night.  It has a gorgeous shimmer you can't really see in the photo unfortunately.  Then I stamped & embossed the fun sentiment from Hero Arts Find Joy clear set.  I wasn't happy with the plain white card front, so I stamped the Hero Arts Fabulous Flourish (admired it forever & finally just broke my "no more woodblock stamps" rule--LOL--won't be the last time either!) in Memento Tuxedo black in 2 corners.  Took me a long time to decide whether to add the strip of ribbon & if so, which one.  In the end I chose this simple stitched grograin & was happy with the result.  Finished off with clear gems & attached the focal point with foam tape.  Since this is my first card using paint & the Flourish stamp, I'm also entering this month's Hero Arts challenge.  Thanks so much for taking a look at my work & letting me know what you think.
