It's Tuesday and that means it's time for a new STAMPlorations Inspiration Post. Every Tuesday the STAMPlorations Inspiration team get to showcase our latest creations with our favourite STAMPloratons products. Over the years I have amassed quite a bit of these, and although I love them all, I have to admit some of them have become things I reach for over and over again. The Succulently stamp set is definitely one of my favourites, as I love house plants and succulents and cacti in particular (as they have a much better chance of surviving in my care than some of their more high maintenance cousins).
I started by stamping all of the sentiments from Succulently on kraft card in a matching ink for a subtle background. Then I stamped a few of the plants, coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them to create the focal image. Last, I die cut the sentiment using another workhorse of my crafty stash, the Hugs word die in brown card and added a few accents with my gel pen.
Don't forget to leave a comment on the Inspiration Post and the designer's blogs for a chance to win prizes every month!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a good card. I really like the background and the lovely colourful pots of cacti and succulents that provide loads of interest and focus. I love succulents too and have quite a collection now as they do tend to multiply! Thanks for visiting me and leaving such a lovely message xx
