Stampin Up Happy Inkin' Thursday "Oh So Succulent" Blog Hop

Hi Stampers, Today I opened up one of my new bundles from the Occasions Catalog. My share is using the “Oh So Succulent” Bundle and what can I say, I love it! From the paper to the stamps and dies, it is going to get used for lots of cards. It fits perfectly with our color challenge colors of Old Olive, Mint Macaroon and Tip Top Taupe.

Here is the color challenge:

Stampin’ Up! “Oh So Succulent”:

Here is the recipe for the card:

Card Base: Old Olive 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2

Mat: Mint Macaroon 4 x 5-1/4

DSP: Succulent Garden 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

Art Piece Mat: Old Olive and the Lot of Labels Framelits (largest)

Art Piece: Whisper White and the Lots of Labels Framelits (second largest)

Here are the details:

To make the succulent flower:

Cut out 5 mint macaroon flowers from the “Oh So Succulent” framelits
With a sponge dauber shade the center and petals with Tip Top Taupe
With another sponge dauber shade the tips with Old Olive
Curl the petals with your fingers or bone folder to give them dimension
Stack your petals with a dimensional in-between the 5th and 4th petals and 4th and 3rd petals. Attach the rest of the petals with glue
Add a large pearl to the center
Make a bow using the striped Tip Top Taupe ribbon

More Details:

The Sentiment:

Using your Old Olive and Tip Top Taupe markers ink up the sentiment from the Balloon Adventures stamp set using the ink to rubber technique.

Add a pearl to the center
The art piece panels are attached with dimensionals
