Lawn Fawn is generously sponsoring us with an offer of a $25.00 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner.

When I saw this beautiful screened pool enclosure against the bright blue sky, it instantly reminded me of a modern terrarium, an elegant glass structure showcasing nature within. That inspiration led me to create this succulent card, featuring vibrant blue, teal and purple succulents nestled inside a geometric "glass house" frame.

The rich jewel tones echo the colors of the water, sky and outdoor setting from the inspiration photo, while the black frame mimics the architectural lines of the enclosure. I used the Supplies from Crafty Meraki  (sadly retired) for the succulents and the Terranium. For the background I was inspired by the textured flooring and used Textured blocks 3D embossing folder and paired  the Terranium  with a softly textured background and touches of gold sequins for a hint of sunshine sparkling through the glass.

Sometimes inspiration is all around us, you just have to look through a different window 😉
