Green, Green, Everywhere

I needed another birthday card, so I decided to use green and enter it in the Mod Squad Challenge - Green, Green Everywhere. We can only use the colour green, with a neutral as an accent, if necessary.

This was a fairly quick card to make. I only used one colour of ink and the same colour of cardstock - Jelly Bean Green. 

I stamped the flourish all over the background, and sponged around the edge with a sponge dauber. After stamping the sentiment on another piece of cardstock, I embossed it with clear embossing powder and cut it out with a stitched circle die. I also cut out another larger circle and sponged the outside of the circle. That way, when I layer the sentiment on top, it looks like a darker cardstock in behind.

I took a piece of twine, wrapped it around the background piece, threaded it through a button and tied it. I attached the background panel onto a white card base with some foam squares, and then added the sentiment pieces with some more foam squares.

I used the following supplies:
