CD Sunday - Go Green


Good morning all. Another week has flown by and still no sign of summer arriving. This week's theme from CD Sunday is 'Go Green'. I think most of the design team have used green - the colour - but there's also been some recycling going on - so you can interpret the theme in your own way if join us. As always - please use something from a CD and give the said CD a mention.
I have used Sheena Douglass' Paint Fusion CD for the bp and then over stamped it with a stamp I have wanted for so long - the Hero Arts Leafy Vine. The main image is Sheena's enormous tree stamp. I used Topiary embossing powder for this - it's dark green with some flecks of gold in it. The corner is another Sheena stamp - embossed in black and the sentiment is an EI (Chocolate Baroque) stamp mounted on a Spellbinders label die.
Last week's theme seemed quite popular so I'm hoping this week's one will tickle your fancy too.
Thank you for visiting today.

Stunning creation Beryl, looks like a framed painting. I am not a fan of using green but always love cards in green.

Such a beautiful creation Beryl, I love the overstamping on the background paper, and the tree looks gorgeous in the green embossing too.

You know me and trees Beryl and this is one I really love although I've only inked it up a couple of times. But the colours, textures and DP's you have used really compliment it.

Hi Beryl.
I've just realised how long it's been since I stopped by. The weeks have flown but that's no excuse. I'm sorry to have missed your lovely cards but have caught up with them all now and they are great. You are giving our Sheena's stamps a good work out. I love the Iris and this tree is stunning. It's a great stamp isn't it.
If you want some of the uncompressed paper to play with, email me your address and I'll pop some in the post!!
Hugs Lisax

This is beautiful Beryl. I have this stamp, as yet unused! Love the way you have stamped on the backing paper and your dies just finish it off so well. Michelle x
