There is still time to play along with the current challenge at Time Out. We challenge you to make a card inspired by the quote above. I just love this quote, and am quite ready for the sunshine and long days of spring that April brings.
I was inspired to create a card showing several plants that are currently in my backyard. Sunny San Diego is actually a desert climate, and we recently added lots of different kinds of succulents to replace much of our grass. There is a double meaning to this sentiment, as it will be going to someone I think is amazing, but also expresses the amazement I have for these hardy plants in my yard.
I used Indoor Garden stamps from our wonderful sponsor, Altenew, to create the focal point on my card. The sentiment is from an old stamp and die combination from Verve (sadly out of business now).
This challenge will run another week. I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.
Thanks for Visiting
Oh I love succulents-cacti right? I had baby ones in my house for a while in bright red and how wonderful you have them in your garden-I think we need a team Whatapp photo! I really love how you grounded these-a PTI splash? And the perfect placement of the sentiment. Like your take on the challenge meaning, super creative and I hadn't thought of that!
ReplyDeleteYour card is simply amazing, love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card....love your succulents and cacti, so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Joyce. I love that linear design. I also love the earthy colors and that wonderful die cut in your sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the combination of the mostly one-layer stamping with the two die cut elements. And I imagine succulents are much more eco-friendly than your grass was!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, I haven't used this set in a long time. A reason to pull it out again!
