That Craft Place dt challenge - It's all green

Well hello everyone, it's time for a fabulous new challenge at THAT CRAFT PLACE CHALLENGE BLOG
This fortnight the challenge is hosted by our fabulous team member Erin, who has chosen the theme of...IT'S ALL GREEN
Sponsored by Lisa at That Craft Place a fabulous prize for the winner and a top three will also be chosen.
Have the cogs starting turning yet? Need some ideas? Then have a look at what the talented design team have made and also say hello to our new design team members. It's great to have more crafty girls on board to offer you more inspiration.
Here's my card for this challenge. The stamp is Sweet Pea ching chou kuik - the koi. Lisa at That Craft Place has some gorgeous sweet pea stamps as well as many other brands that I know you'll just love to own, and new stamps are on their way too. So come have a peak
I coloured my image using a combination of copics, pro and flex markers. Some glitter highlights on fish too. I cut a frame using spellbinders grand scallop circle dies from green card and coloured with peeled paint distress ink.
The background paper is a sneak peak of some fabulous freebies coming to Dawn's Crafty Cards and Friends website. Some paper pleating and at the top corner a die cut circle stamped with shell image and embossed with white powder then more peeled paint over the image as a resist technique. On this I've added three head pins with clear bead chips to resemble rocks in the sea and something a bit different to beads n pearls. Then a die cut fancy corner with brad in middle with prongs showing. I liked how this looked to decided to stick with it.
I decorated the frame with white paper flowers and green brads and some curled wire poking out.
I added the butterflies as it's my new Martha Stewart punch I really wanted to use and seeing as I'd put flowers on, the butterflies did fit in and just accented that part nicely.
I really enjoyed making this card, I just wish the photograph would show it as it is in real life as I'm quite proud of it.
Thanks for looking, now hop on over to the challenge blog, I can't wait to see your makes, be it a card tag or other papercraft, as long as we can see the theme in your work.
The challenge runs from today Sunday 24th June til Saturday 7th July.
Happy crafting and good luck
Luv dawn
