The stamp set I chose to use was a received in a swap last year or the year before. It's an Inkadoo set. I've never used it before and since I'm trying to ink all my stamps this year - it had to be used sometime right? I stamped the image in black and then decided to chalk the edges. When I started chalking, I really liked the look so I went further in than just the very edge - and next thing I knew I had a soft green effect over the black image. The paper is from a paper pad that has been in the stash for probably 3 or 4 years. I wanted to add a ribbon but didn't quite know where so I embossed a smaller piece of green cardstock so the ribbon could be tied onto it.
I'm entering this card in several challenges...the first of which is Inkspirational Challenges who has a color challenge this week:
The other challenges are as follows:
Inky Impressions Challenges - Going Green or St. Patrick's Day
Loves Rubber Stamps Challenges - Anything Goes
Twisted Tuesdays - Spring into Green

I love your card. That image is very cute. Thanks for joining us at Twisted Tuesday Challenges.
I have long admired that nestie shape. Mostly b/c years ago, I was trying to decide between that one and a different shape. I didn't chose the one you used...and have always regretted it!
