Color Hues #59 and Double D - Green

After a long day of cardmaking at the Altenew Mindfulness Retreat on Saturday my mojo has been slow to rebound.  Fortunately I had a panel in my B&P box that works for both the Color Hues challenge of green and gold, and the Double D challenge of Everything's Coming Up Green. 


This was an alcohol ink panel I did a while ago and was just waiting for the right time and challenge(s).  All I did was cut a gold frame using WF nested A2 rectangles and add a gold embossed sentiment on a vellum banner. 

Thanks for dropping by.

This is so beautiful. I think you have used the alcohol inks for what they do best, being the focal on a card. This is stunning!!! Love the touches of gold.
