Succulent Thanks

Yesterday was Picket Fence Studios February release day and I just realized that I never shared this post from last release. 

This card uses the gorgeous  Aeonium African Succulent from last months release.  I made this card for a friend who invited me to stay with her a few days after Creativation was over.

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a watercolor paper panel cut down a quarter of an inch smaller. I stamped the image and then colored it using Daniel Smith watercolors. The die cut thanks is by Birch Press Designs.
