Today is the very last day of the year 2020; it is also officially the last work day which opens the door to my newly found freedoms, called Retirement. With that being said, I am excited to have the time and energy to make and show you new cards. I am a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator & today I am showing you my “sneak peek” creation using the “Simply Succulents Bundle”.
This bundle includes both the Simply Succulents stamp set plus the Potted Succulents Dies. I found my inspiration from Alisa Tilsner at www.alisatilsner.com. I love how she colored the pot and a lots of her color choices for coloring the succulents but I changed up quite a bit to get my results.
Products I used are Stampin Blends Combo Packs in: Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Garden Green, Smoky Slate, plus So Saffron, Light Rocco Rose, Dark Calypso Coral, so Saffron, Dark Bronze. I do not have Rich Razzleberry so I improvised with using a small block with Rich Razzleberry ink and one of the Water Painters (filled with 70% rubbing alcohol) to get the effect on the succulent tips. The dies make cutting soo easy, they are a MUST have item! To add a bit more pizzaz, I die cut 2 times the Old Olive sprigs, cut them apart & down some & arranged in the background
My card background is created using the largest die in the set that was adhered to the card front using wet glue. Dimensional adhesives popped up the flower pot & succulent piece plus a few more on the sentiment to make it stand out more. Lastly, I embellished with one of my favorites: Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. These dots add just the right amount of “sparkle” and finish off the card so nicely!
I love how my card turned out, what do you think? Would you like to have a copy of the brand new Mini Catalog that launches tomorrow??? Contact me and I will get one in your hands right away.
