Shades of green

 It's lovely to see the trees starting to look green again (although my eyes rather wish the nearby birch trees weren't producing so much pollen) so I've made a card that celebrates all the shades of green we see in nature. 

A total snippet-fest using scraps of several shades of green and a snippet of leaf-patterned paper. The leaves were cut and embossed and the background finished with the last pieces of the scraps of card.  I know the leaves are more "deep dark jungle" than "English country lane" but the colours are very reminiscent of the spring leaves, the conifers and the evergreen shrubs along the roadside. 

I am sharing this with 

Pixie's Snippets Playground - Challenge 401  

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - M is for Monochromatic  (apologies for the total lack of snark, sistahs, but my 95 year old Mum is in hospital at the moment and my mind just refuses to get into a snarky groove, I'm feeling to stressed to laugh!)

I'm so sorry to hear your mum is in hospital Jane and I do hope you are able to see her. The lack of snark is very understandable.
Your card is just beautiful. A great way to use up those snippety bits and a lovely celebration of all those greens too.
Sending hugs, Vicky x

Hope your mum is doing okay. Never good, but how much harder these days.
Onto your card - it's gorgeous! I love the cluster of leaf dies. Always good to see you back at the Sisterhood!

Great card Jane - love all the greens - reminds me of childhood forays into the secondary jungle in the Far East!
