Colour Creations: Granny Apple Green

 Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the new Colour Creations Creative Showcase. We are looking at Granny Apple Green this week. I really like this bright, cheerful green.

I started off with some Shimmery White cardstock, and then I smooshed it with some Granny Apple Green Ink. To do this, I used my Aqua Painter to add some water my largest clear block. I then used the Aqua Painter to add some GAG ink and then smooshed the cardstock over the ink. I let it dry a little and then repeated until I was happy with the look. Letting it dry between smooshes gives you a few 'tide lines' instead of one great big blob of ink.

A Silver Foil globe from the World Map dies - showing Australia, of course - was the perfect compliment to the sentiments I used on the front of the card. I backed my foil with an Adhesive sheet before die cutting, which makes adhering so much easier. I cropped a few stars from the left over foil to go on the front.

I couldn't do only half of the world, so the other globe went on the inside. I'd smooshed this piece of card when I did the front so that I only have one lot of mess to clean up. I hate when I don't remember to do the inside until after I've cleaned up!

As always, please pop on over to Catherine's blog, where you'll find the rest of the links to this week's Granny Apple Green cards.

Bye for now,

Tina
