Simply Succulent Stamps
Potted Succulent Dies
- Stamp succulents with Memento Black ink on Whisper White and cut out with coordinating die.
- Color with prefered coloring tools (I used Stampin' Blends)
- Create dimension with the Take Your Pick Tool (see explanation below)
- Assemble as in sample.
Creating Dimension with the Take Your Pick Tool
- Punch or die cut image from cardstock.
- Color as desired, let dry if necessary
- Put the image face down on the *foam mat and starting in the center of the image move the ball stylus in a circular motion with medium pressure. Turn over and then press down in the center of the flower with the stylus. Adhere to card/project with desired adhesive. (You may use Dimensionals, if you’d like!)
- For a different fuller look, start shaping on the front of the image as opposed to the back. Don’t press down the back center.
* I use a mouse pad, but a a few pieces of fun foam stacked together or a flower sculpting mat can be used. You may use the foam pad that comes with the brush tool but you need to be super careful.
