For my Growing in Unity Day 2, I am using the sentiment kit Succulent Salutations . This is a fabulous kit that includes 18 stamps. I am not a gardener so this set is as close as I will be getting to having a plant. I love to fussy cut and paper-piece - this card is perfect for that.
" just take it one day at a time "
- I started with a Molly & Rex card base, A pink doily was placed in the upper left corner of the card and trimmed to fit.
- The succulents, sentiment and bird were stamped with Memories Black India ink - I stamped the succulents several times on both Neenah Stardust White cardstock and patterned paper . The patterned paper was from 2 Prima pads - Hello Pastel and Life Time.
- I fussy cut the planters and 2 of the succulents, then adhered them to the image stamped on the cardstock.
- Distress Markers were used to color several sections of the succulents.
- The sentiment was paper-punched then stapled to another paper-punched square of patterned paper.
- A strip of glitter washi was placed along the bottom of the succulent image, then this mage was adhered to the bottom right corner of the card.
- A fussy cut bird was adhered to the top of the sentiment.
Please comment on this post. I will randomly choose 2 winners to win 25 Unity stamps at the end of my GIU week. Thank you for taking the time to visit Meticulosity.

ReplyDeleteThe distress markers on your succulents are the perfect colors!! I just got me some yesterday at a local craft store that is going out of business, so sad. but happy to the markers for 60% off. Your card is adorable. Succulents are all the rage.
ReplyDeleteNo green thumb here either. I kill everyone one of them so I'm now forbidden to touch any plant that comes into our home. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOVE the succulents!
I see a theme so far, pink doily and staples... I love these images BTW
ReplyDeleteI love your selection of papers, colors. It came together so nicely. Is your doily a purchased one, or is it a die cut? Love the addition of the doily in the corner. Very cute

ReplyDeleteLove the paper piecing on the cactus and that sweet little birdie!
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy fussy cutting and agree with you on gardening. Nicely done card. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I always wish someone would come up with ink that smells of the respective plants (well not cacti, but in general). How nice it must be to open a card and feel as if standing e.g. in a field of lavender...
ReplyDeleteSuch fun cards and I love to see paper piecing.
