Hello and welcome back to day 5 of cactus cards. After today, only three more to go. Then I want you to tell me which one is your favourite.
I created a textured, background card panel by using one of the FLOWERING CACTUS DIES. It gives the appearance of being prickly.
I die cut two of the different cactus shapes from this panel. The pickle-looking cactus was sponged around the edges and then popped up onto dimensionals and placed it back in its originl place.
The ‘heart’ shape cactus was die cut from DSP and popped up also.
Both of the linen threads from the product medley were used to tie the layered bow.
I’m not sure what types of flowers these different cactii have in nature, but for my card Calypso Coral felt is perfect.
When I showed one of my daughters this card, she took a photo and sent it to a friend because her friend says ‘Kind people are my kind of people’. It is such a small world.
I love it when I can imagine a new card design before I start and it turns out even better when I’ve finished the project.
Happy stamper – happy stamping.
