Whenever there is a CC where the color are all on the same side of the wheel, I'm very happy. Especially if they're in the green neck of the woods. I struggle with the CC because I rarely think of color first. But this was easy. I love the freshness of all the green together.
My dessert is a stencil. I love this stencil so much. It always seems so magical. I had to sub kiwi kiss for the pear pizzazz; I would swear I have that color but looked to no avail. I cut the stem three times, the top layer is a metallic white cs. I found some old variegated crochet cotton from my grandma in my stash and added a tiny bit of white glitter ribbon. Some SU sequins in an iridescent green finish it off.

Love how the die cut leaves coordinate perfectly with the stenciled background. I also love how the background goes from light to dark (or dark to light). Very nicely done.

oh, yes, this is so YOU! And a lovely balance of the greens. Reminds me of vegetables...and thinking of all the different shades of green. Grandmas' crochet thread is a wonderful touch of color, texture, and scale.

I love your bg stencil too, Jean! It really does look magical. Your die-cut seems to flow so well with the bg....the sequins add a nice touch of sparkle~

The stencilled background is just so pretty and such a great match with the die cut flowers too. Nicely finished off with the thread and ribbon. Oh yes - this is just so pretty.

I, too, love monochromatic hues for a card...this green is so refreshing! Love your stencil work for the background and the white die-cut leaves popped on top!
