Sunday Stampers - Green

Here is my entry for this weeks Sunday Stampers.

The theme is GREEN.

I got lots of different backing papere in all shades and patterns of green and then placed them all over the card. I cut some green card into a square and matted and layered a white piece onto it.

I stamped the white piece with some Tim Holtz stamps in distress inks - shabby shutters and peeled paint.

9-4-9 April - Tim Holtz Style

Over on Lots to Do its time for the 9-4-9 and this month its in the Tim Holtz Style.

Never having done any in his style before (but always wanting to) I thought I would give it a go.

I like the results, but not too sure if its in Sir Tim's style.

I added a purple silk flower with a purple pearl brad and coloured a happy birthday peel off purple.
