Gobstoppered!

The Lollipop Ladies next challenge involves Gobstoppers.  For those of you who have no idea what they are, they are big, round and very sweet (a bit like me!) and once you have one in your mouth you cannot talk for a long time!!!!!!

I took one look at this photo and my eyes were drawn to the green.  However I knew which stamp image I was going to use, so I didn't think green would go that well and perhaps I should use yellow. When I looked at the Copic pens I had my yellows were low in number and I had more greens than any other colour family. So green it was!  The stamp is from one of four I got as a freebie from Craft Stamper magazine when I renewed my subscription - they arrived with no explanation out of the blue one day, and I fell in love with them but have only managed to ink one up so far - this one! It is by Michael Powell - Square Individual Urban Stamps (Docrafts). I used about 16 different greens, going over into the aqua's as well (blue-greens) - too many to mention by number. 

The image is mounted on some Gumball Green SU, and the background paper is from a Basic Grey Hello Luscious pad.  I wanted it to have the feel of a paining hanging on the wall. The sentiment will be inside.  The  base card is one of the few remaining pieces of Handsome Hunter by SU I have left.  Such a good colour that one was. The ribbons came in a pack of small green ribbons purchased at some stage last year as I though they would be useful for Christmas cards and never used! A green brad and a bit of repurposed black cord completed the card.  

This photo is taken in a brighter light (you can see the sun was out). 

Mad for Markers have a challenge to use green, so thought I would enter that as well.
