Lawn Fawn Spring Release - Plant a Succulent

I had a fun time looking online at all the varieties of succulents.  I also saw some photos of people displaying them tucked into little cubbies in a board, so that's what I decided to do.  The sentiment will go on the inside and will wait for the right occasion.

Lawn Fawn Spring Release - Magic Iris Floral Wreath Add-on and Magic Spring Messages

Lawn Fawn's new Magic Iris Floral Wreath Add-on is so fun to layer up with flowers in any way and with any colors you'd like!  I kept to white and yellows and decided to scatter those tiny flowers all over.  I love adding dimension to little flowers with a  ball stylus.

I layered up the background with papers from the new Flower Market collection and coordinating cardstocks:

One "Universal" Universe! | Video

Distress inks and a bit of water is about all it takes to create a universe background.  Add some acrylic white paint for stars and you're good to go!  I took one sheet of watercolor paper and was able to create five cards:

I kept similar elements on all of the cards to make them easier to design:  Silver heat embossed, holographic paper, a limited cardstock color palette, and sentiment strips.

This first card is from the end scraps of the universe background.  It includes a partial rectangle and letters:

This card was also from a small snippet of the background.  It is cut with a Mini Slimline Stackable:
This card includes the largest piece cut from the background.  It is the largest of the Small Mini Slimline Stackables:
Veering away from the Year Eleven stamp set, this card contains a medium sized Stitched Rectangle:
 

And card number five includes a partially cut Mini Slimline Stackable:

I have a video showing how I created the sky and put the cards together.  You can watch it here, on Lawn Fawn's YouTube channel, or on my YouTube channel:
