I'm using a really gorgeous set called "Succulent Bouquet 942J." It has some stunning images in both B&W and pre-colored, plus lovely sentiments. I colored it myself but I did try to stick to the gray-blue colors of the cactus succulents Jan had done in the set. Mine is almost a perfect match to the few succulents which are growing in pots on my porch.
I have tons of flower stamps but must admit this is probably my favorite. There's something about the combination of succulents and roses that really appeals to me.
Colored with ProMarkers and chalks

Connie, this is so lovely! Wish succulents would do well here - they get a bit stringy instead of thick. Your color choices are amazing, and so is the lavender card layers! Beautifully done! hugs, de
