It's Week 17 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Challenge and this week we are showcasing the beautiful Granny Apple Green from the Brights Collection. I love this fresh, pretty green and I am excited to share with you the card design I came up with to show the versatility of this wonderful color.
For this week's card design, I wanted to create an organic design using the retiring Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper for my background. I just love this soft tone on tone pattern that helps to add texture to the card design without being overwhelming. I also chose to use one of my favorite bundles from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, Notes of Nature, which sadly is also retiring. I chose to add some Gold embossing to add a classic elegance to the card and the Gold Sequins add the perfect finishing touch.

I love the texture and detail in this pretty card design. The leaf design in the layer of vellum adds wonderful texture to the background of the design. I die cut the left side of the vellum layer using one of the Notes of Nature Dies to give the look of a notebook page. To help make the leaf pattern pop, I used a blending brush to add Granny Apple Green Classic ink to the reverse side of the vellum to add a layer of soft color which helps bring out the detail when I layered it on top of the Granny Apple Green card base. For the focal image, I die cut a medium circle from Basic White cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I heat embossed the detailed lines image from the Notes of Nature stamp set using Gold embossing powder and then stamped the dottage background image using Granny Apple Green Classic ink onto the background, stamping off once each time, to add some soft texture. Using a blending brush, I gently added some Granny Apple Green Classic ink to the die cut circle to add a soft layer of color. I stamped and die cut two of the leaves images and colored them with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Markers to bring them to life. I also die cut several detailed leaf sprigs to add behind the circle to add texture and details against the vellum background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image onto a Basic White banner I die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. To finish off the card design, I added several Gold Sequins to coordinate with the Gold embossing.
