SSS Believe in You Release Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
I’m so thrilled to be a part of the Simon Says Stamp Believe in You Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Nichol Spohr’s blog you are on the right track!

For my first card, I am featuring the CZ Design Birthday Sweets stamp set & Lunchbox die.
I started by die-cutting 4.25″ x 5.5″ rectangle panel from watercolour paper using the Basic Rectangle Panel die. I then randomly stamped birthday cakes, candles, stars from the CZ Design Birthday Sweets set on watercolour paper panel using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink. I coloured all stamped images with Altenew Artist Markers. I die cut the Lunchbox from a separate watercolour paper, stamped images with black dye ink, then coloured them with alcohol markers as well.Let’s look inside! There are another great sentiments & lots of sequins!!
For my second card, I used the Suzy’s Succulents watercolor prints and the Greetings Mix stamp set.
I coloured 8 adorable succulents with Hero Arts Watercolor Wheel, and then fussy cut them.
I stamped sentiment from the Greetings Mix set on the centre of the card front using VersaFine Onyx Black, and then adhered all watercoloured succulents as shown in the picture using foam tape.
Watercolouring succulents is so fun! Succulent leaves have many different colours in each of them.
