IO - Shades of Green

I love the colour green, pretty much in every value, hue or shade. So I was excited to see Impression Obsession's " Shades of Green" challenge. So I whipped out my trusty IO Gary Robertson stamps, and thought, "Darn, I can't use a lighthouse". LOL! But I was saved by the barn(s) ! I could easily use one of those. I have two already,and there are two more like them that I am crazy about, but I have a long running argument with myself ( shades of Smeagol/Gollum)about whether I need more barn stamps. " I wantsss it"/ "Shut up already!". This has led to a stalemate and made it difficult to pick new stamps. I want new stamps that I can be happy using as much as the IO stamps I already own. I have lots of stamps from other companies that never see the light of day, so without further ado, my green card featuring IO's Daylily and Barn stamp # G1155.

The word "LOVE" is also from an IO stamp set, but I kind of flubbed it a bit so it looks different, but it was from the "I wish for you" set (Cl227). The image looked fine all in green, but I added a little orange chalk because of the ribbon.
If you have some Impression Obsession stamps and want to play, here is the spot to go : http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2013/02/shades-of-green-challenge.html

If you don't have any IO stamps, then you should check them out, because they have ( I want to say, lighthouses and barns), many, many fabulous stamps that can live in the light and be your favorites too !
