STAMPIN' UP! PLENTIFUL PLANTS FOR FUSION CHALLENGE

 I'm back with a second blog post for today, to share a card I made for the current Fusion Card Challenge:


I'm playing along just with the sketch.  As soon as I saw this layout, I knew I wanted to play more with the Plentiful Plants bundle that is one of my current favourites.



Some of my favourite details on this card are the Stitched Greenery background (on Mint Macaron card), and the custom-stamped vertical strip I created with a stamp from Artistically Inked.  I repeatedly stamped, on Basic White card, what I like to call the "blobby" stamp (that gives a result similar to alcohol ink techniques) in Mint Macaron, Just Jade, and Evening Evergreen inks.


Check out the sweet details on the die-cut succulents and pots, using Perfect Plants Dies.  The succulents (in Mint Macaron and Evening Evergreen) sit on a Just Jade circle, cut using a Picture This Die.



The sentiment (from the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set) is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink, on a Basic White circle also cut using a Picture This Die.  I've added a Genial Gem, and a bow using Crumb Cake twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.



I wanted the background to my hanging basket to be a little darker (but not solid), so used a leftover piece of my stamped background.  I stamped over it again in Evening Evergreen ink, using the same stamp.  After cutting it out using a Layering Circles Die, I sponged the edges with Evening Evergreen ink.  The plant pot was stamped in Crumb Cake ink, and the plant in Mint Macaron ink.


Listed below are all the products I used to make my card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
