Green, Green and More Green..Oh, and Gray

This card is for Saturday Sketch Challenge 246 and Colour Q 128.  I enjoyed this color challenge way more than I thought I would.  I wasn't really sure how all these greens were gonna look together, but I love the way it turned out!  The inspiration for the color combo was a fun pillow with all kinds of green lines on it.  I immediately thought of the herringbone technique I saw over at splitcoaststampers.  What a fun technique to do.....it looks complicated but is really easy!  What a great way to use up all those scraps!


Here's a list of supplies I used.........
Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Say It In Style (CTMH)
Paper: assorted DP, Going Gray, Wild Wasabi, Textured White (Colorbook)
Ink: Certainly Celery, Garden Green
Accessories: Celery ribbon, Latte Buttons, 1 3/8" circle punch, Scallop circle punch, Gray bakers twine, Scallop border punch
Thanks for taking a peek!
