Color it Green!

Hi! It's the second Tuesday of March and time for the Magnolia-licious Color Challenge. Today's challenge is issued by Angie, and here is her challenge color. Could there be any better color for this month?

Check out the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog for the Design Team's creations and the prize offered by Diana, owner of Magnolia-licious.

Here is my challenge creation.

This is an easel card which features #221 Ribbon Hair Tilda at Magnolia-licious. She is part of the "You Are So Special" 2011 collection. The entire collection can be seen HERE. She is sitting on #517 Old Bench.
I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the bench.

Here is a side view.

I used 2 metal brad strips from Karen Foster to hold the ribbon and the easel in place. They were bright orange so I buffed off some of the color to tone them down a bit. Scrap Our Stash has challenged their readers to use a forgotten product or tool in their 'Dust It Off Challenge', so I decided to accept the challenge and use the brad strips I have had for several years.

Here is the easel part of the card.

Here are some close-ups of the image. Isn't she delightful with that sassy red hair and the bows? How about the pearl necklace and earrings? She looks like she is ready for a wedding. I really like her green shoes!

I like how the rose leaves turned out. I wanted them to have tips that were tinged with red and burgundy.
What do you think about them?
