PDCC #40: Splash of Green

I spent a lazy Saturday afternoon playing with some stamp sets that I have been neglecting. I almost sold Butterfly Kisses and then today realized how glad I am that I didn't! I didn't necessarily intend to make cards today using all the selected older sets but just played with colors and designs for fun! I am anxious to incorporate some of my new ideas soon. Seems I am always wanting something new and forgetting what wonderful stamps I already have! Does anyone else have this problem too?

Today's card is for the Play Date Cafe Challenge using black and white and a splash of green. I really enjoyed last week's challenge using neutrals so this is kind of an extension of that one but with a splash of my favorite color--green! Any shade of green will do so I chose Simply Chartreuse cardstock. Another new found favorite--I didn't order it right away thinking I wouldn't like it that much but now that I see it IRL, it is awesome! Another product that I got as a gift, and have had for ages, but never even used is a Spellbinders Shapeabilities set. I don't know the name but it has several insects, a branch and the leaf I used today. I did some samples--the butterfly and dragonfly and several copies of the leaf. Great to have on hand to use when needed. I just sponged with the London Fog ink to accentuate the design.
