Trendy Succulents at the Avenue

 Good morning crafty friends...

We're ready for the March challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  This month we're sharing a beautiful color board to inspire you along with our "Anything Goes" Challenge.  The twist is succulent inspiration.  Succulent plants are very trendy now and I have a few of my own.  I love the variety of shapes, sizes and easy care required.

 
 Here's my color board inspiration with a twist...

"Happy Retirement"

I'm a huge fan of square cards, usually 5" x 5" or 6" x 6".    They make me feel like I'm working on a small canvas and sometimes take me longer than they should.  This card was a great opportunity for me to make a retirement card for a very special person.  I know that she will love it when it arrives.  
 
The 6" X 6" base is layered with white matted, patterned paper.  I die cut a doily as the background for the fussy cut succulents.  The sentiment is computer generated and cut with a banner die.  It's adhered to a ribbon banner to give it dimension.

This is beautiful! Your artistry has been such a wonderful addition to the team! You always seem to find the one element that takes your project over the top. This month, you found two, the doily and those amazing fussy cut succulents.

Thanks for joining our teams (613 and APTS) and thanks for being such a wonderful teammate! I love your energy!
