When the new January – June Mini Catalog previewed I
was quickly drawn to the Simply Succulents Bundle. I have always loved succulents (mostly
because they are hard to kill, lol) and I love all the different varieties out
there and all the colors they come in. I
knew right away I was going to have some fun coloring these in with my Stampin
Blend Alcohol Markers and that I did.
Here is the first card I created with the bundle…
The card base is Just Jade cardstock that is cut 5 ½ x
8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I then added a layer
of the In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (of course I used the Just Jade)
that measured 4 x 5 ¼”. Then I cut out a
piece of Basic White cardstock using the largest of the stitched and scalloped
rectangle dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and added it to the center of
my card. I cut two additional pieces of
cardstock using two more of the dies from the die set included in the Simply
Succulents Bundle, I used the smallest to cut the Basic White and the larger
one to cut Just Jade cardstock. I
stamped my sentiment also from the stamp set included in the bundle onto the Basic
White label using Just Jade ink.
I stamped the pot and the succulents onto Basic White
cardstock using Memento ink. Then I
started my coloring using the Stampin’ Blends markers I have listed below. I really enjoyed playing with the colors and
blending each plant and the planter.
Once everything was colored I used the coordinating dies to die cut them
out.
I adhered my Basic White label to my Just Jade label
and using a couple of Dimensionals I added it to the bottom right of the
card. Then I adhered my plants to the pot
and added more Dimensionals and placed it onto the card. One final think I did do was to add some Wink
of Stella, even though it doesn’t photograph well I can assure you it really
adds some sparkle to the plants.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making
it. As always you can find the supplies
