SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Brights, Jewels, and/or Neutrals Cardstock Stacks
• Oversized succulents templates (7 total templates)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut the cardstock into seven succulent-shapes by cutting on the solid lines of the template. To print the template, click on the "Download Project PDF" button (above). Each succulent shape should be progressively smaller. For the largest succulent shapes, cut half of the shape then flip the template to complete the other half Use the dashed line as a guide to line up the succulent halves.
2. Rub the ink pad on the edge of each pedal.
3. Curl up the edges of each petal using a dowel or other rounded object. Begin curling the smaller succulent shapes from the center of the flower and bending the petals up to the ends. The larger succulent shapes need only the ends curled up.
