Birthday Succulents

I bought this lovely Uniko 'Happy Succulents' stamp set in their January sale and made a birthday card with one of my favourite sentiment stamps which was still on my desk after making my butterfly card yesterday. I used the CAS Colour and Sketches colours for the succulents.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Uniko 'Happy Succulents' and 'Birthday Wishes' stamps
     Versafine Deep Lagoon ink
     Copics BG15 & G21
     Snippet of white matt card

I trimmed the white card so it was slightly smaller than the front of the card before putting it into my MISTI.  I placed the succulent and sentiment stamps onto the panel and stamped them with Deep Lagoon ink before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I coloured the panel with Copics before attaching it to the centre of the card blank.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Embossing (I have used wet embossing)
     Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral Goes
     CAS Colours & Sketches - Colour Challenge (Pretty Peacock, Pool Party & Soft Seafoam)
     Moving Along with the Times - Floral
     Simply Clean & Simple - Greenery
     Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes (I was going to choose the Favourite Stamp option as I love all my Uniko stamps!)
     Uniko's 14th Birthday Link Party - Birthday Card with Uniko Products
     We Love Stamping - Anything Goes

The colours just sing out Kath, and such a pretty Uniko floral stamp, and the slightly larger sentiment works well in the space underneath the arch of flowers...a beautiful card. x
