To continue with the Shopping Theme at Gingersnap Creations, We're celebrating the Color of Money for this month's color challenge ... make a card using the color of money from the country you live in or the country you were born in.
I used Collage Backgrounds Green for my design, that were provided by Altered Pages, this month's Gingersnap Creations Sponsor ... how handy to be able to size and print your own backgrounds (and print them again if you mess-up).
My card design features various hues of green and images from Artistic Outpost's new Loverly London & London Underground Collections.
The layout is an elongated version of Lucy's Lovely Lines Sketch at Lily Pad.
I used a long-neglected fern leaf punch (for this week's Shopping our Stash Challenge to use some of our neglected tools) and a scrap of the marbled background paper to create some fancy "feathers" for her hair ... it sort of reminded me of some of the crazy hats from the Royal Wedding.
Gorgeous colours and love the quote...

Oh, how cool is that background? I love the fern punched fronds in her hair, too. Wait, I might have that punch ... sigh.
Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash this week!
