Let me tell you the plants on my card look much better than the plants in my house.  And yes I cut out every one of those plants and pots.  I over-water my houseplants, but the ones below don't have to worry about that at all.  The cutting was actually therapeutic, a calming exercise for sure.  I pictured a shelving unit on which to sit the pots, so this is what I came up with.

I couldn't have planned the colors of my card better to match the

 main colors of the Hero Arts banner.  

I think you can see the changes of color more on the second view below.

Wonderful new 2015 stamps hit the spotlight here.

Stamp Your Own Succulents, CL839

Baby Animals Stamp & Cut, DC148 (sentiment)

Panel is glossy white paper which I embossed with VersaMark ink

Hero Arts Orange Soda, Fresh Peach and Soft Cantaloupe Ink Cubes 

were used directly on the panel. (Lots of Ink Cube sets at Hero Arts)

Some of the plants themselves are stamped over more glossy paper inked with 

Hero Arts Orange Soda, Fresh Peach, Soft Cantaloupe and Soft Pool Ink Cubes..

I decided to stamp the cute baby animals on patterned paper, like all kinds of little stuffed toys..  I had so much fun playing with them. I also had fun using my Hero Arts Ink Cube too.  I embossed the panel and ran the ink pad over the leaves to bring out spots of color.  There are the cutest little sentiments to go with this set too.   AND there are two dies.  I love sets that have dies included or that you can purchase to match the stamps you buy.
