I've got a couple of Simply Succulent cards to share with you today.
The first is actually a birthday card.
- Though there are no birthday sentiments in this set I thought this one would easily work. I have another set, the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle that has a birthday greeting that goes very well with the "extraordinary" font and is stamped on the inside. ( This was a birthday card for my mom who lives in Arizona.)
- I've been on a Soft Sea Foam kick, if you recall. Here it looks beautiful with Blushing Bride and a little Pear Pizzazz.
- The detailed background die is a delight to use. I just ponged it lightly with multipurpose liquid glue before adding it to the Soft Sea Foam card base.
- The Blushing Bride Metallic ribbon is perfect on this!
- Here is a close-up of the die cut succulent arrangement:
I made my second card for this week's Color challenge at Splitcoaststampers: Pear Pizzazz + Mango Melody + Flirty Flamingo:
- I started with a 1/4 sheet of Basic White and used the Blending Brushes to add the three challenge colors.
- The succulents were die cut out of Basic White also. I used the Blending Brushes again to add color to these.
- The window was cut with a narrow rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles.
- Actually this was pretty quick to put together!
