Going For Green.

There are a few challenges at the moment that are asking for Green in their theme and I had it in mind to try and make a card just  from green patterned papers. This  is what I came up with using the Sunburst Design as my idea and I rather like the result.

The papers were all from my stash and collected as freebies in magazines (mostly Making Cards)
The snowdrop was also from design paper ( a magazine freebie from long ago) and came with two strips of sentiments There were three flowers ( each set within a frame)  and a further matching outline  flower which I fussy cut and adhered slightly off centre to give the illusion of more petals and leaves.
Below is a picture of the inside of the card using one of the other flowers in the set. 

 There are lots of  tutorials on You Tube on how to make various Sunburst designs. It is one of my favourites for using up my  numerous scraps of papers. I can't throw any away however small!!. 

Entering into the following challenges:
Creatalicious Challenges #254 Anything goes with optional green/four leaf clover.
Try It On Tuesday # Go green.
Double D challenge # Every things coming up green.
The Sisterhood of Crafters # Use the colour green.
Crafty Catz #628  Anything goes /spring (I have used a snowdrop).
Creative Inspirations # Anything goes/Spring Blooms.
Crafting Happiness #140 St Patricks day or lots of green.

Hi, ValeryAnne! Your verdant sunburst is a fantastic design tip for using left over papers! It's beautiful! I especially like the interior pattern - so lovely and delicate. The layers are beautiful! It's always fun seeing how crafters are inspired by the Mood Board at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. Thank you for sharing your love of all things flowers with us, and I hope to see more of your designs soon.
Crafting Hugs,
