Little Succulents.....

Hello dear friends: I love Succulents, these hardy and beautiful little plants are easy to keep and simply adorable. 

The images and sentiment are from a Power Poppy set called "Sassy Succulents, the pattern paper from my stash.

I stamped them with Stazon black ink and colored them with my Prismacolor pencils, I embossed the panel with a Stampin' Up! embossing folder called "Subtle Dynamic Impressions".

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

Both the sentiment and the little Succulent are from the Power Poppy set.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Little Succulents.....

Hello everyone: I love Succulents, they are hardy as they are beautiful, require minimum care and they look amazing near a sunny window any time of the year.

These cute, little Succulents are from a My Favorite Things stamp set called "Sweet Succulents" 

I just stamped these images on watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.  

I fussy cut the plants and the pots, which I also stamped with a Waffle Flower set called LAYERING MARBLE to add a bit of texture to the otherwise, plain pots.

I used a Tim Holts brick wall EF for the background and a Cuttle Bug "Swirls" EF for a bit of decoration, the sentiment hanging is from a Power Poppy set called Farmers Market.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

 

I used a scrap piece of embossed brick wall for the top, a sentiment from a Power Poppy set called POTTED PRIMROSES and the little succulent from SASSY SUCCULENTS also from Power Poppy.

Hello everyone: The new SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge's theme for this time around is MAKE YOUR MARK, that means you must use markers to color your images.

This is the card I made and I hope you get inspired to come and play along.

I adore Succulents and this particular one from a Power Poppy set called Sassy Succulents. This particular Succulent is very hardy and grows beautifully.

I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with SU markers (Old Olive, Garden Green, Rich Razzleberry and Chocolate Chip)

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment and the images are from the same set.
