Shades of Green for Spring

Hi there thanks for stopping by hope you are all having the best week possible!  Today I have a card to show you with a beautiful image from "Aurora Wings" if you have not checked out these amazing images you really need to.  These images have so many possibilities for your imagination to just run wild!  The image I used is "Red Poppies Elf with Poppy blooms"  I did her all up in green for the Shades of Green challenge on the Aurora Wings Facebook group.

 
 
I colored her while I was on vacation so I don't remember the colors I used on her except for the skin, so I apologize for not writing them down.
The DP's is Imaginisce for the floral Go for Baroque- So Rococo.  The striped one is "My Minds Eye" Wild Asparagus.  The border is a MS punch.  The scalloped ovals are cut with the Silhoutte as is the flourish on the inside of the card.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Here is a side view.
