Monthly Challenge: Go Green--A Color Challenge

This month the website "Inspiration Journal" has a color challenge.  The challenge is to make a monochromatic project that is green or mostly green.  I chose to make a tag.  I used a piece of water color paper and cut it to measure 7" by 3".  I ran it through my Big Kick machine to dry emboss it with a Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fade called the Patchwork set.  Then using my Inkssentials tool I colored the tag with Ranger's Peeled Paint, Pine Needles, and Bundled Sage.  I distressed the edges with a little Rusty Hinge ink.  I used my large grunge board wings that were first painted with silver acrylic paint and then distressed with the same inks that I used on the tag.  I glued the wings on the back of the tag.  I cut the cards out of DCWV "The Timeless Type Stack" paper, I also cut some of the other embellishments out of this paper.  The three dimensional stickers at the bottom are made by K & Company.  The centerpiece of this tag is a domino that has been colored with alcohol inks, stamped with a girl's image (Stampers Anonymous) using StazOn black ink.  I used silver foil around the edge and burnished it.  A hole is drilled in the bottom of the domino in order to attach a jump ring that holds a tiny hand (Alpha Stamps).  The metal wings are Tim Holtz.  I sealed the image with Glossy Accents, let it dry and attached it to the tag with glue dots.  I attached a Swivel Clasp (Idea-ology) to the top and added a couple of ribbons.  That is about as green as I can get!
