Happy Birthday Gaby and Happy Earth day too!
You should have arrived here from Liz's blog.
Wasn't her project just FABULOUS!!!
Now on to my project
In celebration of Gaby's birthday and Earth day I decided to make a fabulous GREEN card. I love the look of monochromatic and iCopic Lover (one of my new favorite blogs) is having a monochromatic challenge and it is in fact a day to celebrate being green (environmentally speaking) so I chose green! I love this adorable Mo Manning stamp called Wonderful Day - it seems so fitting for a day to celebrate Gaby and the Earth. I colored her in Copics.
Here are the following colors I chose:
The Happy Birthday stamp is also from Mo Manning and comes with the Wonderful Day set. I simply layered a number of different papers. The solid green is from Stampin' Up and the checkered paper is from the Basic Grey stack Baby Girl.
I also used my Martha Stewart punch to create a border close to the bottom of the card.
Now, hopefully you can see the baker's twine that I added to this card as well. I bought this twine from Kimberly at My Craft Spot. I really love this twine and it seems to be so popular right now.
and because I love this twine and Kimberly's fast and great service if you leave a comment telling me your favorite color you will be entered to win a fabulous bunch of 3 crinkled ribbons of your choice and a set of Bakers Twine from Kimberly at My Craft Spot.
I will chose my winner on Monday following the blog hop!
Now you are off to Linda's blog
In case you have just popped in and don't know anything about this hop - please start from the beginning at Gaby's blog. Gaby has a number of sponsors so there will be lots of fun prizes but you have to complete the whole hop in order to win! Here is the entire list of bloggers participating!

Beautiful card Melissa! I love the image and you've colored her beautifully. I have such a difficult time doing monochromatic cards that it surprises me to hear someone say they like them lol! You did a fantastic job. Oh, and it's hard to pick a fave color cause I like so many, but at the moment I'd have to say it's aqua.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Melissa! I just love the colors in the card!! Gorgeous!!

Your card is absolutely adorable! You did a great job of coloring. I just do not have the patience to try something like that, especially with as many colors as you chose.
