Sending Smiles with Potted Succulents Dies

 Sometimes, there are dies that I just forget to use.  They

are wonderful dies, but often require a different technique.

This card uses the Potted Succulents dies, where I used the 

large die, to create a

paper template that I placed over a piece of card stock and

colored with Stampin Blends.  The colors I used were

Starry Sky, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Succulent.

I ran this layer through an Embossing folder, in two 

different directions, to make it look a bit like watercolor paper.

The Sending Smiles set and Sending dies allow you to create 

different sentiments.  Two optional sentiments were stamped,

so that I can attach the one that I need, when I am

ready to send the card out.
