Stamps: Magnolia Tilda, Studio G sentiment. Cardstock: GP110 white, Reminisce DP. Ink: Memento black, Copics. Accessories: CM oval cutter, Wright's white grosgrain ribbon, Spare Parts brads, CB Houndstooth.Opus Gluei's challenge #45 for this week is exactly this title, and we have free reign to interpret that theme as we will. First, I went with the literal definition and used this amazing card kit that I received as a prize in Angela's (SCS monkeymama) Magnolia card kit swap. Angela is a queen of card kits and included not only these goodies, but enough to make several more cards! If you are interested, Round 5 of the Magnolia Card Kit Swaps is currently in full swing.
The layout is inspired by the always versatile sketched at Mercy's Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge #63.
Although this is a St. Patrick's Day Tilda, I went with the good luck theme to make it more general purpose. Here's the inside of the card:
For my second card, I went with the current popular definition of green:
Stamps: Papertrey 'Mailbox Greetings'. Paper: Kraft, the eco Stack DP. Ink: Chocolate Chip. Accessories: circle punch.The sketch is courtesy of Clean & Simple Stamping's Fall-To sketch #81 (reducing my paper use with a CAS theme), and also recycled with the 70% recycled paper content DP. Hey, I could also allow the card to be re-used by using a sticky note for an inside greeting to the recipient. All three sides of the recycling triangle checked!
Check out the always-fun gals over at Order of the Opus Gluei; there's plenty of time to go green!
