Luck o' the Irish

Challenge #52 this week at the Shabby Tea Room is to design a card using green.  Here is the photo inspiration:

And here is my card:

supplies: Hero Hues PS622 Foliage Layering Papers, Amuse green gingham design paper from Robin,  CG176 Butterfly Field, CL267 Card Messages, AF182 Hero Hues Grass chalk ink, gingham ribbon, green flower button, green gems for butterflies, Martha Stewart butterfly punch

I decided to break out my Hero Hues layering papers in the Foliage colors, and I also used the Hues Grass Chalk ink for my stamping.  I chose the lightest green paper from the package and stamped the Butterfly Field silhouette stamp on it, then trimmed it to fit the cardbase made from the medium tone paper.  I thought this sentiment was perfect for the Irish-feel I was trying to achieve.  I masked most of the stamp for the front of the card and then stamped the rest of the sentiment inside:

To finish, I added a skinny green gingham ribbon and a green flower button and punched some tiny green gingham butterflies.
