Squigglefly Challenge #88 - SFC88 - Grateful for GREEN!

I find I like the challenge of a monochrome design. Forces me to work with that color more. So I was happy to see a monochrome challenge on Squigglefly today and spent a little time in the craft room making a green card for this challenge.




All of my cardstock is generic that I picked up at Michaels several years ago. The image is Beautiful Borders digi from Squigglefly and I colored it with green Copic markers. The green plaid that edges the stamped image is Japanese Washi tape. I also taped some cardstock with the Washi tape and placed it beneath the punched trim at the top, then trimmed the taped cardstock to match the scallops. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

My card is a standard A2 so that I can add it to my box of cards for OWH.

Did it mean I had to actually put a recipe on or in the card? Eek, do I have a recipe that will fit on a greeting card? Well, she ...
