Today have a card that has been inspired by AAA Cards #172 this is a CAS game for a one layer card with an optional twist of 'my other hobby'. As many of you know my other hobby is my garden and in particular the growing of succulents. So I made this card:
I used masking to stamp the little arrangement and then coloured it with Polychromos, I then masked it again and used a stencil and distress ink for the background. The sentiment is heat embossed with Wow gold pearl embossing powder. I also stamped and quickly coloured a cactus for the insert (the blue paper, which is white on the other side) and the envelope.
Here is a photo of some of the succulents in my garden, taken today:
I hope you like them.
I am also sharing this at Krafty chicks #521 clean and simple
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Oh my Hilary...fabulous card, love the pencil. It is gorgeous. And your garden..what a treat to see the photos. I would love to spend some time there.
Lovely card and your colouring is fabulous! SO is your garden!!
Our garden is not my other hobby. To sit in it and read a book, of course;-)
But working in the garden....not really.
wonderful colouring with the pencils and gorgeous garden :)

Gorgeous succulents, both on the card and irl! I am getting jealous of your coloring..and your green thumb!
Really beautiful card, Hilary - inside, and out!
I have five wee little succulents - I think they'd much rather live at your house! Should I be setting them outside for a bit? Maybe in YOUR gorgeous garden!
