Hi, there!
How's your week going so far? I hope all is going well for you and that you are able to get some craft time to enjoy!
I saw the challenge over at City Crafter and got to thinking--ah yes, I do believe I have a cactus stamp. The theme is "Feeling Prickly". You are to use something prickly on your project such as a cactus, hedgehog or even a pin or brad. I haven't used the stamp set in awhile and got to stamping. I came up with this card...
I water colored the background. The mountains were just free hand. The cacti and iguana were also water colored and popped up for dimension. Brads were added to the sentiment tags. Twine for the final touch. I thought about drawing lines on the cacti or dots. But, decided against it for I liked the texture from the water color paper. Oh decisions...decisions...ha!:-) All supplies are listed below.
Ok, well that's all for now. Take care and if I'm not back here again before Sunday...Happy Mother's Day!!!
Hugs,
Maria
