SPS March Hop - Green and 4 of Something

Good morning! It is the first Saturday of March (can you BELIEVE it?) - and the Shop Pumpkin Spice Design Team is having their monthly hop and new weekly challenge. If you have just arrived here from Cheryl, then you're in the right place. If you want to hop all the way along and see everything fun, then feel free to hop over to the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog and get all the details!

The theme this time around is "Green and 4 of Something" - so fun for St. Patrick's Day! I decided to go with a little more general themed card:
I used lots of fun SPS goodies! I started off by cutting 4 arrows, and a fun frame shape with my Silhouette Cameo Machine. Next, I layered some different green pattern papers from Crate Paper's Pretty Party 6x6 paper pad.
I inked the edges with some distress ink, then stamped my sentiment from Paper Smooches "We Connect" stamp set. Tied some jute twine around, and added a couple adhesive pearls next to the sentiment.
Finished off by attaching the frame shape with foam adhesive to my card base - the wood grain paper is from the same paper pad, also inked with distress ink. 
Thanks for hopping along today - I'm glad you stopped by! You're next stop is the ever amazing Marlene. I hope you'll join in this weeks challenge - can't wait to see what you come up with!

In case you get lost along the way, here is the entire hop line-up:
