Monotone Green

This is my effort for Rainbow Lady's challenge this week. She's continuing the Rainbow Colours theme and this time I've chosen green. The stamp is a new acquisition and is by Elusive Images. I've stamped it with Versamark and embossed with a dark green embossing powder that belonged to my sister. I've then coloured the leaves with Lyra Aquacolour and smudged round the edges of the image with Adirondack Pesto. It's backed onto dark green card and both plates have been cut from my new Nesties. The overall background is a piece of scrap booking paper, overstamped with the same stamp and the Pesto ink. The green pearlescent paper has been through my Cuttlebug and the corner are also Cuttlebugged. To finish off there's some green ribbon down the side and four stick on pearls which I coloured with Dufex marker pens.
Thanks very much for visiting.
