It's Not Easy Being Green

Today the challenge is all about green cards.  Being this time of year, I couldn't stop myself from making a St. Patrick's Day card.  I decided to make a wash of color as a background and then stop the Irish Blessing saying (F1384) on top.  To create the background, I took a heavy-weight watercolor paper and made a rectangle shaped area in the center with a waterbrush.  I then sprayed the center with an assortment of ink sprays.  Pre-wetting part of the paper helped control the shape of the finished background.  I added the saying and then attached a shamrock I made with one of the new Impression Obsession dies (shamrock DIE 065-AA)
