Hello Green Moth at Ching-Chou Kuik

Wow, it's already the last week of our challenge this month! I hope you've had time to join in and check out all the wonderful inspiration from the team.
Don't forget the theme is EASTER/SPRING and there's still time to enter here.

This week Dianne challenged the DT to use Green in our creations. I'm not especially fond of green, but I can always find some inspiration. I have used 'Moth' from the Circle Oriental Kimono Lady set. I really love these circular images as they're self-contained and make great card toppers, tags, ornaments etc.
Products used:

Cream card blank
Designer paper
Recollections paper flowers
Hello word die
Foliage dies
Stitched hill die
Ranger Stickles - Green
ProMarkers - Moss, Khaki, Pastel Beige, Satin, Holly, Lush Green, Mint Green, Leaf Green, Apple, Meadow Green, Forest, Bright Green, Pine, Olive, Pear Green & Lime Green

Green for Luck at Ching-Chou Kuik

It's time for some more inspiration over at the Ching-Chou Kuik Challenge Blog. The challenge this month is 'Four-Legged Friends' and you can add your entry here

This week the team were challenged to use a colour we don't like or don't use very often. I'm not the biggest fan of green, so I decided to use 'Green Moth Maiden' and created a good luck card using just one more colour.

Product list:

Yellow cardstock
Recollections laser cut paper pad, 'Boho' collection
Recollections paper flowers
Papermania buttons
ProMarkers - Moss, Khaki, Pastel Beige, Satin, Olive, Holly, Lush Green, Leaf Green, Pastel Pink, Apple, Meadow Green, Forest, Bright Green, Lime, Pine, Sunflower, Tulip & Buttercup

Jingle Bells Gift Tags

December is here and the countdown to Christmas is on. I always make my cards and last year I started making my own tags too. Having a baby does make creating anything a bit difficult though, but having a BigShot really helps with this. I've made these very simple and easy tags by printing an image several times and die-cutting into a circle, then glueing to a larger scalloped circle before punching a hole and adding twine.
The image I have used is 'Jingle Bell Wreath' from MelJen's Designs, which I have added sentiments to using Photoshop. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and a bit of gold glitter pen around the middle of the bells.

I would like to enter these tags into the following challenges:

Monochrome Birthday Card

I rarely make monochrome cards and green isn't one of my favourite colours, but my newest Promarkers are greens so I thought I would make good use of them!
It's a fairly simple card as I don't get much time to craft these days with a newborn and a toddler!
You can't see too well from the photos, but I've embossed the Glitter Silk card - top square with hearts and bottom square with dots.

I've used the following materials to create this card:

Papermania card and button
Core'dinations Glitter Silk card
Dovecraft twine
Paper flower from The Works
Sizzix dots embossing folder
X-Cut square parenthesis die
Crafts Too hearts embossing folder
Meljen's Designs 'Stuffed Little Lion' image
Promarkers - Tea Green, Mint Green & Pine
