Hi, and welcome to this month's blog hop!

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators Monthly Team Blog Hop!  We are so happy that you could join us today for ideas and creative inspiration.

This is the card I created for our theme, Thank You. 

To create the card, I started with a card base of Soft Seafoam card stock, 11" x 4 1/4", folded at 5 1/2".  I added a layer of Basic Black CS 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".  Then I adhered a piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper 5 1/4" x 4" on top of that.  I just love the bold stripes with various green shades!  I used Layering Ovals Dies to cut 2 ovals, one out of Basic Black CS, the other out of Basic White CS; then adhered these to the card front.

Next, using the Simply Succulents stamp set and coordinating Potted Succulents Dies, I stamped the three succulents with Garden Green ink onto Soft Seafoam CS, and colored with Stampin' Blends (Granny Apple Green, Seafoam, Blackberry Bliss).  I stamped the pot in Early Espresso ink onto wood grained DSP from In Good Taste DSP and die-cut it.  I die-cut more succulents from Pretty Peacock CS to fill in behind.  I assembled the succulents in the pot and adhered to the ovals using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The "thanks" is die-cut using Well Written Dies.  The label is die-cut from the Potted Succulents Dies.  These are then glued to the card front.

The succulents can be colored many different ways, and all arranged in the pot in various positions, too, leaving you lots of possibilities in creating this card.

I hope you like it! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
