I had to add some succulents to my collection this time - I love them and they are so easy to care for (I got a few for Mother's day too!). You'll find my images in unexpected places, which is a favorite theme of mine as well. this one is in a teacup. The first image here is watercolored, and layered over a fun gel print...
On the second card, I stamped the teacup image onto a piece of label paper, and colored it with Copic markers.
It's layered over a monoprint which features a few of Seth Apter's new stamps - you can see how I made the background in today's tutorial feature on Splitcoaststampers!
Stamps I used: Tea Cup Succulent, Cheers, More Friendly, Rotators, French Script

ReplyDeleteI love the succulents in a cup - so pretty! My hubby does Bonsai so we have lots of plants. And even succulents that we like to put into unique containers ... just like a tea cup (or a boot - ours is a Victorian ceramic boot). :-) Beautiful work as always, Dina.
