Blogger Challenge: Week 141

This week’s blogger challenge theme is shades of green (plus neutrals). I used my Irish Kiss stamp set from Clear & Simple Stamps for this quick green card.

I stamped the set’s shamrock image in black ink on 3 green cardstock squares. A fourth square, smaller and a lighter shade of green, was stamped with the “lucky charm” sentiment from the Month to Month I stamp set. I accented the words with a deep green brad, then layered the square on a white mat for contrast. The squares were arranged on a lighter green panel that was embossed with a dot pattern to add some interest. A green satin ribbon was knotted around the panel before I attached it to a white card base.
