I have these stamps and dies featuring succulents, but I was unsure how to use them to create a card. However, I found a way to incorporate embellishments by turning them into hanging plants in front of a window. I added some decorative washi tape and a background design paper to enhance the overall look.
The sentiment I chose is quite impactful, though a bit lengthy, and I thought Mary would appreciate it. It reads:
"Just like these hardy plants, you too have an innate strength that endures. They may face the harshest conditions, yet they persist and bloom with time. Much like them, I know you'll weather this storm and come out brighter and stronger."
Oh. And the succulents remain b&w because they look better this way than if I tried to color them in
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to see this card.

Lovely card! I think the contrast between the black-and-white plants and your colorful background and window scene is very artistic! Great quote, too, perfect for the Teaparty!
