Hello peeps! I've been playing with the brand new
Bloomdala Bliss Stamp Club set, and two of the images reminded me of succulents, so that's what I made!
I started off by scoring a piece of card every half inch on my scoreboard, and stamping the images on the MISTI.
I smooshed Distress Inkpads over the scored card to create a weatherboard effect that would be my window box or trough. The colours look quite intense but they lighten when they dry.
Then I set to colouring the 'succulents' using Distress Inks as watercolours.
I trimmed the weatherboard to size, fussy cut the succulents and then arranged them on my card, adding a sentiment from the set.
I had just the prop for staging my photo ;)
