Dirty Girls "Then and Now" Case Yourself!!!

This month all of the Dirty Girls were issued a challenge to case one of our first uploads!!!! The purpose is to see a "then and now" growth to our stamping style. We all have to start somewhere, right? I absolutely love the idea of this challenge, however, once I visited my 2005 album, I became alittle nervous....lol!!! I decided to choose this card because I just used so much green galore?? Thanks a Bunch

As part of the challenge requirements, we could change three things???? ONLY THREE? LOL!!!
I changed colors for sure!!!! I changed stamp image, and I change embellishments/accessories!!!!

For this card I am using chocolate chip, aqua mist, vanilla cream cardstocks. I am also using Basic Gray Marrakech and MB Poppyfinch dps.
I am using the newly release ODBD Scripture Collection I set.

I distressed all of the edges of the aqua mist and vanilla cream cardstock and dp with Tim Holtz distress inks in antique linen and tea dyed.

I added more layers to this card.

I used nestabilities and cuttlebug embossing folders.

I added larger eyelets this time to the belt. Instead of cutting into the cardstock to make the belt loop(s), I used some dark chocolate twill. I did use some brown permanent marker to make this twill dark enough for this card.

I added few embellishements. The layered stamped flower with button, and the jumbo brad with cross charm. I have been doing a lot of flower stamping of late. I love the look and the effect. Here, I stamped the same scripture that I used in palette dark chocolate ink. I sponged all of the flowers with antique linen.

I used an accent stamp from Laundry Line called Bloom with some aqua mist around the scripture. It is a tiny solid flowers design.
