2. Paint each watercolor place card with unique brush strokes and gradiant patterns. Feel free to paint the back side, too; simply stand up the cards in a holder to dry.

3. Allow paint to dry overnight.

4. Use calligraphy pen to write guest's name on each place card. Weave card in a succulent, and place atop a Caramelized Supper Club place setting.

5. Allow your guests to take home their succulent to replant and repurpose!
