I love creating with paper, and though I don’t do it very often,
I find the end result very rewarding whenever I do.
Sometimes I have a clear idea of what I want to create, but not a
clear idea of how I will execute such ideas, so I end up putting it aside.

But the ideas will keep nagging and nagging me, until I just have to try.
And it’s kinda cool when it turns out how you envisioned it in your mind.

When I set out to make these paper succulents, I wasn’t sure
how they would turn out, but I think they turned out pretty cute.

I used Canvas Corp chipboard handmade white
paper (here), my water colors and a little bit of creativity.

These paper succulents were actually very easy

OMG what a brilliant idea. Love the look!
How lovely! I had to reread it to figure out they were made of paper! Love them!
these are lovely!! I didn’t realize they were actually made of paper until you said so! looking forward to your tutorial 🙂
These turned out absolutely beautiful Lucy. I never would have guessed they were made from paper by just looking a them!
Oh I can’t wait for the tutorial! I have some tin buckets I want to hang on my wall with succulents, but I really didn’t want to have to water them since they would be staying on my wall for a while. ; )
I’m so glad that nagging feeling propelled you to action. Your plants are super cute. I had to look twice to realize they are handmade. I will be waiting for the tutorial but you should know, the suspense will be unbearable!
Woah! I’m blown away by your creativity and natural talent. These look incredible.
Lucy…I love these imposter succulents! I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to keep my porch succulents alive inside during the winter months. This is a great idea and I love the white washed pots 🙂
amazing Lucy! Can’t wait to see the tutorial. I love these. I am terrible with plants (I have even killed succulents in the past) so these are right up my ally 🙂
Lucy – we were thinking along the same lines! I just made a trio of FELT succulents! http://www.shakentogetherlife.com/2014/02/how-to-make-felt-succulents.html
This is so creative! The paper succulents turned out great! Can’t wait to see the tutorial!

Oh my goodness…I would of had no idea they were made of paper if you hadn’t told us! They are so pretty!
Oh my gosh! They look so real. Love them!
hugs,

You are amazing! That is all. 🙂
So beautiful! I was convinced they were real! You are so creative!!
These are so pretty and realistic, Lucy! These would be perfect for me and my black thumb 😉
