It's not easy being green, or is it?

If you are this card, it is really easy!  I got my inspiration from a similar card on Pinterest and decided to give it a Fun Stampers Journey spin using another great stamp that is retiring June 30.

I decided to start with Fun Stampers Journey Branch stamp as my basis for this card.  Because I wanted it to be green, that became the color scheme for the card.  I started by cutting two pieces of Butter Cream card stock 4 x 5.25 inches.  On one piece I die cut a circle using the Journey Circles die set.  I chose a circle large enough to allow the branch to show thru.  Once cut out, I lightly traced the circle onto the second piece of card stock and stamped the branch in Limeade Splash.  While that was drying, I added a piece of printed card stock  from the Through The Years paper pack.  This pretty green stripe worked perfectly. Next, I wrapped a strip of Limeade Splash ribbon around the front covering the seam between the two papers and then attached another strip of ribbon and tied a knot.  I choose my sentiment from the Bloom Burst stamp set and stamped it in Kiwi Slice, which was a slightly darker green, because I wanted it to show up against the striped background.  

All that was left was to add foam squares to the back of this piece and carefully attach it to the piece with the branch stamped on it.  I then attached it to a Limeade Splash card base, added some Rainbow Drops and it was done.  

An easy card to create that can really be used for any occasion.  Simply change the sentiment and you are good to go.  Make up a batch with several different sentiments in different color schemes to have on hand when needed.  

Remember, if you like this stamp, it is only available while supplies last!!!!  So you can order now, or take a chance and wait until May 1 when all retiring items go on sale.  But either way, once it is gone it is gone!
