ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I have many Hero Arts products and love that they support Charities.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and if I remember correctly Kathy says everything comes in the color you make it. Maybe that was me but I do know she has inspired me to color some everyday lol.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of colored images to incorporate into cards too. When I attempt to do something with them I can't think of anything but when I need something fast, for some reason I manage to pull it together.
ReplyDeleteI never cease to be amazed at how one product or color used by so many talented gals can be so different and yet so dang pretty or stunning or fun!

ReplyDeleteSucculent. A beautiful card. This reminds me of when my Mom lived in Arizona. Her and my Uncle traveled the dessert years ago (she is 88 now) and they dug cactus to take home. Totally illegal. Egads!

ReplyDeleteVery cool feeling card, the terrarium is quite realistic, (very thoughtful of you to give away the Copic color number used in coloring the glass-such a helpful tip)! The card is "cool" in more ways than one!!!

ReplyDeletePretty card, thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThese succulents are gorgeous Arlene! I love the colors. So fun to hop along with you! Hugs :)
ReplyDeletePretty card.
ReplyDeletePoignant. Simply lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the elements in the terrarium. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteMaking CAS cards is a definite talent. You've nailed it. I think succulents can be any color you want. I've seen them in all shades, so let your imagination soar.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! I love how you do the stitching. I also do embroidery besides coloring and card making so that impresses me. I see you used my favorite color of yellow and I love anything that uses my favorite color. You asked if the cactus came in the colors you used? You know what? If you like those colors then you should use them. When I do a card, I use colors that I like. When I did some birds recently, I colored some of them purple, blue and yellow and one I did with stripes! Are birds the colors I used? They are in my world! LOL Can you tell I love colors?
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us your pretty card!
Very pretty card. Love the colors you chose.
ReplyDeleteI am smitten with your terrarium card Arlene!
ReplyDeleteSimple and beautiful. What a great design.
