Colour Me # 10 and Card concept # 5

First up Card Concept with a color inspiration and the one liner is really die cut using PTI chocolate brown, NOT black!
stamps:  PTI Autumn Pattern Pieces, Be Happy
inks:  chocolate brown, limeade ice
paper:  PTI white, limeade ice, chocolate brown
This next card is for Colour Me # 10 and they are asking for a monochromatic card using green.
stamps:  Meadow Greens, Botanical silhouettes
ink:  Distress Inks: peeled paint, shabby shutters
twine from the Twinery
 
I hope you will join in these challenges and play along, especially if you like the color green!  this seems to be a popular color with challenges this week...is it because St. Patrick's day is coming up?
Heart Hugs,
Colleen
