QKR Stampede #204 - Monochromatic - DT entry

I hope your screen is set so that this looks green - especially the DP background, which is a very dark and very light green.  The challenge at QKR Stampede this week is to make a monochromatic creation.  You may enter up to 3 times before 6pm EDT on Thursday- for a chance to win QKR images.  Take a look at the creative gallery by the DT members! I selected this Hobbling Frog and matching sentiment.  Right now I have no recipient in mind, but every once in a while I have a friend with a broken ankle or hip replacement and this would be perfect.  I figure it could go for a guy or a gal!  Some where I heard that green is not a good get well color - but I figured I needed a green froggie!  This fun DP was in a huge tub of material from a yard sale.  I added some gems and a leafy circle die cut.  I have lots of embellishments I like, but these tiny gems are among my favorites - they add some pizzazz but not too much bulk.

Spring green

This is a YNS stamp I have had for some time and do not tire of using.  I colored with shiny Twinkling H2O inks and a water brush.  I like the way I can use chalk to soften the main panel, and tie it in with the bg panel.  The sentiment is from DanDeLion designs.  I cut tiny flowers with a Cheery Lynn die set, and enhanced with tiny jewels.  The strip is Washi tape - I often back it with plain cs, but this time I decided to let the pattern show through the tape.  The top panel is a soft sage color though it looks more grey on my screen.  It is embossed with Swirls (Cuttlebug).  A tiny metallic gold strip separates the top and bottom panels.

April Showers before May flowers

These AI gals are so much fun - this is from the pop up set called Rain Rain go Away.  I did not use all the layers - the bg, cloud, sentiment, and the gals under the umbrella.  I added a bit of shading (chalk) to the cloud.  The buttons are faux - die cuts!  The flowers will be showing up in May - they are Cheery Lynn die cuts, with some sparkly gems added.
