I have two cards to post today; one is a birthday card for my BIL and the other is a Mother's Day card which one of my grandkids will no doubt claim to give to their mom in May. Here's the birthday card.
My second card uses an image from AuroraWings and I stayed with the green and gold theme to honor St. Paddy's Day (yes, also my birthday! ;-D)
My color inspiration came from ShowCASe Your Style.
The image is Lily of the Valley. I rounded the corners with a corner punch, and added two squares of CS, also corner punched. All the edges were distressed as I went along. The sheer ribbon was a left-over bit hidden in my stash, and the silver ribbon for the bow was also a scrap. The sentiment is rubber stamped.
Challenges for this card:

The image is colored with ProMarkers, then die cut, embossed, and chalked. I embossed a dark green CS scrap and layered everything together on a card blank from DCWV. The lace ribbon used for the bow is yet another scrap.
