Colour Creations week 20 Granny Apple Green

 

Welcome to week 20 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week the Art With Heat Team are featuring Granny Apple Green, which belongs in our Brights family of colours.

This week I thought a bright, funky green needed to feature on a bright, funky card. I have paired Granny Apple Green with Poppy Parade and Basic Black. I know that this colour scheme is a bit different for traditional Christmas colours but I thought it suited the colour.

I used the Pine Tree Punch to cut one tree from a sheet of Granny Apple Green from the 6"x6" Brights DSP Pack, another from one of the sheets from the Pattern Play Hostess DSP and the third is also from the Pattern Play DSP but I have used a Blending Brush and Granny Apple Green ink to colour one of the black and white patterns, as shown below.

The strip across the center of the card is a piece of Poppy Parade DSP, also from the 6"x6" Brights DSP Pack.

The border either side is Black Glitter Paper using the Basic Borders Dies. 

I also used the Black Glitter Paper to cut 3 small stars using the Christmas Tree Dies to go on the top of the Christmas Trees.

The greeting is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set and has been heat embossed in White Embossing Powder on Basic Black card stock. 

What do you think? Is it still Christmassy enough?

Definitely not my usual colours but it's good to step outside your usual box sometimes.

For more Granny Apple Green inspiration it's time to head over to see what the very talented Theresa Gerrard has to share with us.
