Thank You Home Depot!

Happy Friday!  It was cold today but the sun was out and it's lookin' good for the weekend too.  I spent some time in "The Dog House" this morning hoping to play with some challenges and make an anniversary card for my son and DIL.  Their wedding was beautiful and GREEN!  Perfect for a March wedding and a few of the challenges out there this week.

I'd like to play along with:

Tic Tac Toe #38 (On Diagonal: Green, Sparkle, Happy)


The Card Concept #88 (Monochromatic Green)

And here's my card:


Special thanks to Home Depot for the Green Paint Sample Swatch that I used as the background 😊  I heat embossed the sentiment (Stamps of Life) in Ranger Gold EP on the swatch.  I die cut the Memory Box Blushing Bouquet and used a Ranger Embossing Pen on the flower centers so I could heat emboss them in gold also.  I added sparkly gold metallic thread on the bouquet and layered onto a Neenah Solar White card base.  I added sparkly gold glitter cardstock strips along each side to finish it off.  

I always make the kids a green anniversary card.  You only have to see one of my favorite pics from their wedding to know why!


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and if you are looking for more GREEN fun, the Cards in Envy Challenge is still going strong.  Come play!
