It's time for the last challenge at The Card Concept before we take a break for the summer. I hope you all have something amazing planned - a vacation with family, a visit with an old friend, some time time at the beach, a wild adventure or maybe some down time with a book and a glass of wine. Whatever your plans are I hope you enjoy them.
When I saw the inspiration photo I was instantly reminded of the first plant my husband ever gave me.
It was a cactus and I loved it.
My clean simple card was inspired by the cluster of succulents and all the woodgrain you see in the inspiration
photo at the bottom.
I used a mini stamp set from Flora and Fauna called Stuck on You. First I stamped the plant you see front and center and then I covered it with a mask. Next I stamped the plant on either side of that one and then covered each of them with a mask and then stamped the plants you see in the background. I removed all the masks to see my cluster of plants.
I used my Prismacolor pencils to add some simple coloring to the plants and pots and then smudged a little gray pencil crayon under the pots to ground them. The sentiment is stamped with versamark ink onto black card stock and heat embossed with white embossing powder from WOW.
I adhered all of this with some craft foam to a Sand Dunes card base that I had stamped with the Woodgrain Background stamp from Catherine Pooler Designs and some Sand Castle ink. I blended some Icing on the Cake ink over top to darken the whole piece up. Before adhering the panel I did add a little Icing on the Cake around the edges.
