I'm back today with another Flowering Cactus Card. This time it is a thank you card that also features the Sale-A-Bration set Heal Your Heart AND I'm participating in Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights, an fun event I haven't done for a long time.
I've been working on a gift featuring this medley and if you add a few of the coordinating ink pads to it you will have an order that qualifies for 2 Sale-A-Bration sets. I'm choosing a couple of word sets that I'm including with the samples that go with the gift: Heal Your Heart and Approaching Perfection. I will share a little more about this gift later this week...
Here is today's card:
- My card base is white and I layered a piece of Crumb Cake embossed with the Brick & Mortar folder. I inked up the inside layer( the side with the line) with white craft ink prior to putting it through my Stampin Cut & Emboss.
- My greeting is stamped in Mint Macaron with the "Thank You" from Heal Your Heart.
- Though it is great fun to shade your stamped cacti with different colors, you can easily get to know how the images function on your card simply by using the dies to cut our some of the images on the designer series paper that comes with the medley. Aren't these cute? The Saguaro Cactus is cut with a die from the medley. The die pierces "prickles". I think it could double as a dill pickle...
- The little felt embellishments come in two colors: Highland Heather and Calypso Coral. They are so cute and you will get lots of them!!!
- Those itty bitty prickles are from a die that cuts three at a time. While I love to add little embellishments like pearls and rhinestones these don't add any thickness and you can even apply Wink of Stella to them to make sure they sparkle!
Make sure you visit the other highlights. And, don't forget to vote!
