Green Japanese Plant Card

I cannot get this card to photograph right, the green isn't showing that well and the colour looks altered on the photograph, I have photographed it several times and moved it around a bit to see if the light helps, but it didn't. I have even changed camera settings. The image was stamped in a wonderful shade of green (Anna Griffin), but I can't remember the name of the colour now. I also sponged the image behind in the same shade of green but applied different pressure from top to bottom, but that is hardly showing through on the photograph. I mounted the image on a piece of card to give it a border and this too was sponged with the same green but again, is hardly showing. This was then mounted onto white cardstock and I stamped the sentiment in the same shade of green.

Even though I am not very happy at the way the card has photographed, I will enter it as my 2nd Card for this weeks "Less Is More". My choice of weeks are:

Week 5    Pastels
Week 44  Green
Week 56  Don't Scrap it

    I know it's frustrating when the photo doesn't look right but the card still looks stunning to me and I know the Anna Griffin shades are lovely.

    this is a great card - if we have perfect photos we had a photo studio and not a crafting room :-) [although I have neither a photo studio nor a crafting room ... ]

    don't worry this card looks stunning!

    I think the photo looks great but I know what you mean when the colours don't turn out the same as the actual card.
    It's a gorgeous card, I love the image and the soft sponging effect. Sarah x

    The card looks lovely Vee, even though the colours aren't 'true'. I love the softness of the main panel and the raised layers.
