STAMPIN' UP! PLENTIFUL PLANTS "MAKE A DIFFERENCE" CARD

I had a piece of "artsy" background left over from this card, so have cut it down using a Hippo & Friends Die, to create a grounding piece for a hanging basket on the card I'm sharing today.

The pots and plants on my card are die-cut or fussy-cut from Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Series Paper, with a few plants die-cut from card.  Isn't the texture of the Macrame 3D embossing folder (used on the white background) just beautiful?

This close-up better shows the leftover piece that started off this whole card!  The pot is die-cut from DSP, and the plants die-cut from Mint Macaron, Evening Evergreen and Just Jade card.

I have used a "wood plank" patterned paper across the bottom third of my card front.  The plant basket was fussy cut from DSP, and a slit cut in the top, to tuck in my plants.  I stamped the sentiment (from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set) in Evening Evergreen ink, on a piece of Just Jade card, and cut it out using a Hippo & Friends Die.  A couple of In Color Jewels adorn the sentiment label.

I cut a little strip from the same Designer Series Paper as I used on the card front, to create a shelf for my little two-handled vase.  The vase is decorated with a Crumb Cake heart, cut using a Baby Clothes Die, and some So Succulent In Color Jewels, that throw a rather blue colour in certain light!  They complement the greens of the card better, in real life.

A simple decoration inside the card helped use up a couple more of the MANY pots and plants I've stamped and die cut:
