Grow Where You Are Planted

Hello friends today I'm sharing another card created using one of the newly released Spellbinders Die D-lites called Succulent Garden - this time I am using the actual succulent as opposed to the Aloe Vera and Cactus

I have cut and embossed the succulents and popped and popped it up using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3D Foam Squares on to a Classic Oval large. This is being layered onto a larger Classic Oval.

 I have adhered it to this to the patterned paper on which I've drawn a border and added paint dots to add to the garden feel of this card.

The layered image has been popped up onto yellow matting and adhered to a pre-cut cardbase.

The sentiment is from Inky Antics stamps set designed by my friend Trudy Sjolander and works perfectly with these dies.  I have used Imagine Crafts featuring Tsukineko Momento ink in Tuxedo Black. I have also added some postmarks to the Classic Oval.

This card is linked to the following challenges:

Welcome to the "Friends of True's - Swirly Spring" BLOG HOP! If you are here from Leah Lucescu's blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened onto mine you will want to head back to True's blog  where it all starts.

 There will be a prize package donated by Inky Antics that includes True's entire, newly released, Swirly Spring stamp line.

I have used the Swirly Sunshine & Flowers Clear Set for my card.  The image is stamped with Tsukineko Versafine - Onyx Black and coloured using Memento Markers and an Aqua Pen.

It has been cut out using the Spellbinders Paper Arts Labels Twenty-Nine Nestabilities and the Grand Calibur and layered into the A2 Floral Ribbon Threader  Spellbinders™ Nestabilities®.  The coordinating patterned paper is Sunny Day on White, also designed by Trudy - certainly makes card making easy! 

and added some Want2Scrap bling.
