Trees/Leaves/Plants

  

 

Time for a new bi-weekly challenge at Allsorts.  Val has chosen Trees/leaves/plants, 
or you can enter anything goes.  I was in the mood to color on kraft paper with my
Polychromal pencils.  I had a lot of fun coloring this image from Unity 
stamps: Hello Succulents.  I've used the words from this set before but not 
this image.I kept the card simple using just a few layers using StampIn
Ups faux stitching dies. 
 
Check out my team mates lovely cards and join challenge at Allsorts
for a chance to win one of the two prizes below:

I do love succulents and that's a lovely stamp which you've coloured beautifully and toned your framing so well too.

The succulents look stunning on kraft paper—your coloring really brings out their texture and depth. The faux stitching adds such a charming touch without overpowering the design. Beautifully balanced and thoughtfully crafted!

ooooooh! How beautiful this is, Donna, in those royal blue colors and mostly monochrome scene. Just lovely! I've never seen a "take" with succulents done in blue, and it really is wonderful and imaginative! hugs, de
