My fourth and sadly final piece as visiting artist for gingersnap creations!gorgeous greens!

Hey there ,
Well here I am with my fourth and sadly final piece as visiting artist at gingersnap creations. I have been chuffed to bits to have this fab opportunity and want to thank everyone at gingersnap for having me along!!
Anyway the challenge this time is gorgeous greens, I loved this so here she is:
I love using greens in DI range, and always wonder why I don't do it more often!!I started by creating the background. I coloured the card with shabby shutters,peeled paint, forest moss and broken china...Then I stamped the text from Wendy Vecchis set botanical art...this is a gorgeous set....!!!
The middle section is Tims tissue wrap coloured also in greens, then the last piece is coloured in same inks and stamped with the flower design.
The flowers were made from grungepaper using the large flower from flower power set from The Artistic Stamper....even if they do look a bit like cabbages!!???
The clock is the one and only Tims weathered clock die coloured with DI and then I added some fab gilding flakes in variegated green from craftynotions.
The butterfly is from the same stamp sheet and some gilding flakes and a pen nib added.
The sentiment is from Tim holtz set boundless flight and I love this sentiment.
Why don't you pop over to gingersnaps and see the fab dt work and maybe pop in an entry yourself,
Thanks again to gingersnap creations for having me, I have loved it!!!!
