Shortly before Mother's Day I got an order from The Greetery and among the goodies was this set of succulent dies. So yesterday I finally pulled them out and proceeded to make a few of the succulents up to put on my garden card. I must say I am very happy with them. When I used to have a flower bed I had a few in my garden and we called them Hens and Chicks and this is what this garden scene reminds me of. I hope you will enjoy my little simple garden too.
I used the Life Changing Blending Brushes and some of Gina K. Designs inks to make the background and also to add color to my succulent dies. I hope I assembled them correctly. But they looked quite good to my way of thinking. The last thing I did was to stamp the sentiment which is from The Greetery as well and is from the Comforting Commands stamp set.
I am entering this in the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #388-#389.
I hope your weekend is going great. I love all the comments you leave too.
God bless,
Verna

Wow wow WOW! Verna, your coloring is fantastic! What a great die set! Were your hen-and-chicks left out all year long? Or are they treated as annuals? So lovely! hugs, de
Verna these succulents look so real. Fabulous blending of the colours and love the blue card stock. Stunning card and so textural x
The darker background really makes the succulents pop, and they are colored beautifully. I think I need to check out that company.
Those succulents are just beautiful Verna. Stunning array of colours. The blue background is a perfect backdrop.
The succulents look awesome to me but if you had to "assemble" them? Well they look downright fabulous! I've got to be the worst at layered stamping and assembling... Nice job, and LOVE that sentiment!
Those are the prettiest succulents I've ever seen! Love your color choices!
These are the coolest dies and you colored them so beautifully and perfectly with your brushes! There are many things I want to try with my brushes as time allows.
Beautiful card and the colors are amazing as well as your inked background!! I too use to have chicks and hens in my gardens, not sure were they went though lol, must have wondered off somewhere. It's so fun visiting all the blogs and seeing all the new things that are out there to purchase!
The sponging adds so much dimension to your die cut succulents. Very pretty.
Your succulents are gorgeous and I want them for my garden! The colors look amazing!
I love succulents!!! And your almost look life like!
