Green and Gold

Hello friends, this is what I have been doing during that time that I referred to in my last blog, remember when 'time was flying...'  Suddenly the inspiration came to me and the result is just Wow!  Take a closer look.
I saw this pack of stunning green tags at the CNA on the specials table about a year ago.  As my favourite colour is green, I could not resist them.  As always, as soon as I have purchased something 'crafty', my hands started to itch (as my mam-in-law used to say).  Once home and in the quiet confines of my craft table, I discovered, that I had no paper (in my huge stash) that even remotely matched or contrasted with my bargain find! 

A year later, I dragged my poor, well travelled labels, into a newly opened shop in Cresta, Paper Paradise.  The shop assistant there was far too nice, efficient and amazingly talented.  Within minutes, she had matched 5 sheets of gorgeous paper and 4 bundles of 'to-die-for' organza ribbon, to my rather, apparently, unusual green tags!  My hands moved from itching to throbbing within seconds, at which point the rest of my shopping trip was abandoned and my trusty car managed to get me back to my craft table without breaking the law!

I hope you enjoy these cards as much as I have enjoyed making them.
Till next time
Forever Carding
