For the love of green.

Green is not my color of choice for crafting, usually.  I'm stepping out of my comfort zone for CSS group post day, to bring you a little leprechaun magic:

for the love of green.


I used CSS glamazon green cardstock, the apothecary set, and the little shamrock sugar cookies to fill 'er up.  (true story: when I try my hand at a simpler card, I usually reach for a fleckled paper - at least there's some interest there, in my mind - instead of plain white cardstock.... hee.)

I cut into my focal mat with the apothecary jar die, and then propped it up in the same spot.  My favorite touch?  The gold luster dust I used on my stamped sugar cookies (you know, the stuff you use to glimmer up real sugar cookies!)

for the love of green.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

  3. I do the same thing with flecked paper - for the same reason!

    I love the idea of popping up your die cut to have the green base peeking through - good idea! And now I have a new use for that luster dust that's been hanging around from my wedding cake 7 years ago...
