I will be the first to admit - when I first saw the "Green Sprigs" in person with friends - they were not really doing it for me. I mean - they ARE plastic. And....the scale. They reminded me of when I was forced to decorate the Christmas tree at the office. The really cheap tree that someone bought at the hardware store 80% off. And the ends drop off. These were the ends.
But - I ordered them. Because I will give anything a second chance. And now I have ordered my 5th box. And I am in love.
I still have not used them on a card - but that's ok - it's the holidays and we will have lots of chances for making a project where just a touch of green goes a long way to add a little something.
The love affair began when I decided to try dressing the plastic up a bit. I simply took an old paint brush and literally brushed on a very liberal coat of embossing paste. I let it sit a couple of minutes and then doused it with dazzling diamonds.
Everything is better with diamonds.
They sparkle. They look so vintage-y.
And then - yesterday - it was truly magic. I was making an Autumn version of my Christmas jar. And I added a sprig. Green. No paste. And I liked it.
Some love affairs just take more time than others!
