Fusion #6 - Friends Forever

I had to put up some green to wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Fusion had the perfect challenge to help me out.    I had a hard time mixing and matching elements before I came up with something that I liked.  It's like putting together a puzzle trying to get all the pieces to fit sometimes.     I made it harder than it had to be because I could have just chosen to work with the inspiration photo OR the sketch.  I always try to combine both - that's where it gets tricky sometimes.   
I was inspired by the green flowers.  I stamped a lime green flower background and topped it with some flowers fussy cut flowers that  I stamped in a darker green and added some highlights to with Copic markers.  A few little gems to add some sparkle, and some lush velvet ribbon and  I'm done!
 I hope you're having a great day - maybe resting your head after the festivities and parades this weekend?    Me? Sad to say I'm off to the dentist!  Maybe a few green beers when I get back to help me forget! LOL!  Have a great day!
