Kind Succulents

Mornin' y'all!  I made this card last week but I'm sliding in just under the wire to enter it at Festive Friday, take a look:


And here's the inspo list for the challenge:


The first item, kindness sentiment, made me think of Simply Succulents right away.  I used that plus alcohol markers and two shades of blue (Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight) for my card.  I thought it would be fun to incorporate the large die for the background, so I cut it out of the Night of Navy card front, backed it with some Country Gingham DSP, and then put another piece of Night of Navy cardstock on the back of it so the inside of the card is solid navy (well, I added a piece of Basic White so I can write in the card, but you know what I mean).  Then I just put on some music and went to town coloring in the succulents, which takes a while but it's kind of relaxing.

That's it for me today, cheers peeps!

  1. I had totally overlooked that sentiment Christy but how lovely! And I'm totally with you - colouring can be so theraputic, I love it too. Thanks for sharing with us over at Festive Friday this week!
