Green IS a nice Colour!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today over at Do crafts Forum http://www.docrafts.co.uk/ someone said that you can't make nice cards using green so I thought I'd have a go at proving them wrong!!!!!! Both of these cards are made using K&co Brenda Walton Brookfield papers, Prima- Got Daisies, K&co/Basic Grey Metal Sentiments,Papermania CS, Whispers Ink and Dovecraft chalk, yellow mulberry flowers from Ebay, again the fairy stamp is Dawn Bibby and is stamped with Stazon and painted with Twinkling H2O's.

DCM " Me and My Shadow"

DCM challenge for this week is...............
" to create not just one but TWO cards ! But wait........there's more ! I want both cards to contain the same embellishments and papers, ribbons etc- but arranged in a different way for a different occasion....the only thing being different is the wording." http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/
My cards are made with CS from The Papermil Shop, K&co Brenda Walton "Dolls house"Papers, Prima- Got Daisies, Papermania Brads and Gems, MM Petite Signage - Summer,ribbon from my stash and the fairy stamp is I think a Dawn Bibby. I have stamped both images with Jet black Stazon and coloured with Twinking H2O's, inked the edges with whispers turquoise and added a touch of dovecraft chalks too!
Ive used a couple of Di's Sketches too.. http://dihickman.blogspot.com/
Seeing as there are a few brads on each card I think I can put these forward for this weeks http://scrummystashcafe.blogspot.com/ "Brad Pitt" Challenge.
Personally I'm more of a Johnny Depp Girl myself but I can appreciate the attraction!!!!!!!!!!!
