My Paper Green Thumb

I do not have a green thumb in real life.  That is why I love paper foliage - no watering or maintenance required!  For today's projects, I am really showing off how versatile DRS Design images can be. 

For my first card, I did some surgery on two images to make this potted succulent.  I took the Sneaky Bunny Flower Pot and cut out the pot to act as a base for my plant.  Then I took the Medium Daisy Bloom, sponged on some green, and then cut it up to make the succulent. 

I used the new Blessings sentiment underneath.  Super fun!  Speaking of the Medium Daisy image, I also used it this weekend as a backing to an Easter Cross.  This image can be used so many ways.

On my second card, I tried a new technique to me and made a Mother's Day card.  I sponged my base with the CTMH Willow green ink that I used to color my succulent (I also sponged a bit on my diamond base for the flower as well.  Then I ran my base through an embossing folder and rubbed Versamark ink on it.  I sprinkled on some white embossing powder and heated it up.  Came out really different, and I like it.

For my flowers, I stamped Snapdragon Diamond three times and fussy cut them out.  Colored them with water color pencils and covered them up with Stickles.  Lastly, I added the new Happy Mother's Day sentiment and a few gems.  I think these snapdragons could be used to make all kinds of fun arrangements and would be pretty layered in different colors as well.

Hope your week is going well!
