Bugaboo Catch a Bug Challenge- "Green With Envy"

Bugaboo's challenge over at Catch a Bug Challenge blog this week is to create a card using "green" and to use the sketch that they provided.
this is my take on the sketch and an image that I won a month or so ago on Catch a Bug Challenge Blog.  I popped the image and added another heart to hopefully give it a look of a shamrock.  "I tried."

Supplies

Paper: Stampin Up and paper from my stash.

Embossing folder from Cuttlebug

Rhinestones and Ribbon from Hobby Lobby

Copics: YG11, YG06 and C1

Stampin Up Die Cut
