Today's card is in-your-face-green!
The background was done by stamping various images from the Scribble Flowers Stamp Set in Versamark ink and then heat embossing in gold. You may think I started with a white piece of paper, but I did not; I started with green- the green that you see in the center of the card is the cardstock color.
Next, I created an ombre effect by sponging the cardstock a couple of different shades of green, the darkest being around the edge of the card.
The sentiment is from the Grace So Amazing Stamp Set. It was heat embossed on vellum. The large die cut was one I found in my stash. I cannot for the life of me figure out what die I used for this- I sure could not find anything remotely close to this.

As the popular Christian song, By His Wounds, says, 'By His wounds we are healed'.
One thinks of St Pat's Day when they think green, but I am not a huge fan of St Pat's so I went with the green of renewal and rebirth.
That's it for me! Have a blessed week, all!
Lee Ann

I agree Lee Ann, green is such a healing colour. I love the gold embossing, the ombré ink effect and the layering of the die cut word 'love' over the Amazing Grace panel. Vicky x
