Springy Moss

Hey kids. So it took me a little while to come up with something decent. But, it is a color you haven't seen me use before, which is what I promised. I actually had something else in mind, but unfortunately that didn't work out so well. It was pretty much a disaster. I'd post it for you (to give you a chuckle), but I couldn't even finish what I was working on, cuz it was just all kinds of wrong. So we have this instead. This is Papertrey's other color Nichole released this month, called Spring Moss. It's a very strange color, magical even. When I first got it, I didn't really like it, to be honest. It looked like a mossy-beige. Kinda blah. But when you put it next to this purple, it becomes kinda lime-y. It's growing on me and I'm glad I decided to try it. She did a side-by-side comparison with some other colors, if you want a better idea of what I'm talking about (just scroll up a bit). Now I've gotta go play some more and see what else this kooky color does.

Stamps: Out On A Limb (Papertrey), Ink: Spring Moss (Papertrey), Lavender Lace, Chocolate Chip (SU!), Paper: White & Spring Moss (Papertrey), Lavender Lace (SU!), Accessories: oval punches (SU!), Spring Moss twill ribbon (Papertrey), Red Stardust gelly roll pen (trust me, you can tell in person those flowers are dotted with red)

Oh my word . . . those were the first words out of my mouth when I saw your color combo on this card. Wow, that is really beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to have to pick up some of that color from PTI. Very nice design. Take care . . . Elizabeth S. in mid-Michigan
