STAMPIN' UP! SIMPLY SUCCULENTS FRAMED OH SO OMBRE CARD

 I was inspired by Erica Cerwin's sweet cactus card, on this post, to use Oh So Ombre DSP as a background, and a die-cut frame around the main image on my card.  I have used watercoloured Simply Succulents as the feature of my card:

After sponging the edges of a piece of Rococo Rose Oh So Ombre paper, and adhering it to a Rococo Rose card mat, I embossed the panel with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.  The sweet little sentiment is from the Many Messages bundle, and is white-embossed on Basic Black card.  Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon helps balance out the black sentiment die-cut.

To create the frame, I first stamped the Birch background stamp on a piece of Smoky Slate card, using Smoky Slate ink.  I used Stitched Rectangles Dies, of two different sizes, to cut out the frame. Although it's a little hard to tell, I used a blending brush with Smoky Slate ink to add a bit of colour over the stamped image and the stitched edges.  Some of the leftover stamped card was used to die-cut the grey succulents peeking out from behind the solid stamped and watercoloured succulents.  Woven Threads sequins were the perfect colour to use as embellishments on my card.
