Colour Creations #17 - Garden Green

Our seventeenth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "garden green" from the regals collection. I have chosen garden green, melon mambo and coastal cabana from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 
Here is my garden green card from 2018. 

I am calling my card today my not so garden green card as it started out greener in my head! I started with a misty moonlight sponged background that I added water droplets to (some a little larger than I intended and not exactly where I wanted!) and some Wink of Stella droplets (again larger and not where I wanted but moving on...)
I used 3 of the 4 houses from Coming Home stamp set, stacked to look like one house and I coloured main portion of the house with the melon mambo stampin' blend. I added a coastal cabana door using the woodgrain paper from the brights designer series paper stack and coloured the windows in with pool party stampin' blend. I finished the house with colouring the roof in with a smoky slate stampin' blends.
The trees are garden green sponged cardstock fussy cut with the trunks coloured with soft suede stampin' write marker and finished on whisper white die cut cardstock.
I hand cut a path from smoky slate cardstock and finished the card front off with a Merry Christmas embossed sentiment from Christmas Gleaming stamp set and some of my homemade faux resin dots in garden green.

Beautiful, whimsical, card Ros. I love the splotchy background, and the hand-cut path, among all the other fab details.

[Tina Gillespie]

Ooooh! I love this! The background looks amazing, and I love the arrangement on the front. Wonderful!

[Michele Taylor]

Such a sweet card both inside and out Ros. Your little houses are so expertly coloured and your little path is so cute and welcoming.

[Claire Daly]

Beautiful colouring Ros. Everyone is really inspiring me with their creations from this beautiful bundle this week. I need it!!

[Kathryn]

Very clever to stack the house images this way Ros. And you might not love the splodges of water or wink of stella, but if you hadn't said anything, we would never have known they weren't meant to look that way. They have a perfectly Christmassy glimmery snowflakey star-like feel about them and fit right in with the theme of the card.

[Sujatha Harding]

Your card is so colourful, and all the colours work well with Garden Green! Thanks for showing another great way to use this colour!!

[Sharon Davern]

Cute card Ros and a lot of elements to put together to make the scene! I really like it! I don't have either of those stamp sets so really cool how you put the card all together.

[Sue Madex]

What a gorgeous house. That has come up so well. Love the background.

[Catherine Proctor]

Oh Ros this is stunning! Not so green but that doesn't matter - your colours and colouring are so beautiful! Thank you so much for joining the Colour Creations Showcase this week and inspiring us all with your creations xx

[Andrea Sargent]

A gorgeous card Ros. I love everything about it. Love your colour combination and the balance of colour - just the right amount of Garden Green trees. Love the house you created and the cute path of planks - its just right. Love your background and your splotches look great in the sky. Your handmade faux resin dots are amazing. Its all so good. xxx

[Kate Morgan]

Ooh I love your stone path leading up to this cute home. Very clever to put 3 houses together to create the home. I love it!

[Caroline Manwaring]

Great card Ros. Love all the colours and that cute little path.

[Diane Furniss]

Great card Ros, I love the background and will have to borrow this set off of Mum and she purchased it after we had a crafty day earlier in the month.

[Theresa Gerrard]

Great card Ros and that path is really cute!
