Go Green with new Cricut Heirloom Imagine Cartridge!

This 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card seemed so easy to make at first...I used the Give A Hoot cartridge in combination with the new Cricut Imagine Heirloom cartridge and Imagine machine to cut out the background striped paper, the "go green", shamrock and layered top note shape.  The cuts were as follows:

1) Top note shape (pre-loaded on the Imagine):  3" and 3.3"
2) "Go Green" from Give A Hoot: 2"
3) Shamrock from Give A Hoot:  2"


Warning:  true confession time!

Now, at first, when I started assembling the card, I used this chocolate brown ribbon.  I liked it until the photographed it.  Then, I thought it was too harsh.  So, I pried the card apart and then added green satin ribbon and bow.

Aahh, much better!

I decorated the inside with another strip of printed paper from the Heirloom cartridge and a super cute sentiment from My Creative Time's "I Believe in Leprechauns" stamp set. I love her creative sentiments!

Finally, to add some dimension to the "Go Green" label, I pop dotted it onto another top note base in brown, to make a layered sticker.

Which do you like better?  Brown ribbon or green ribbon?
