Mari Ko Creations Cactus

-
It's new release day over at Mari Ko Creaions, and I have used the new Love Cactus Collection to create this card. I love these cute stamps, and one of the great things about digital stamps is that you can resize the images to your heart's content - I do this on a word document which is really easy to do.




I coloured the cacti in using Spectrum Noir alcohol pens and fussy cut them out (definitely a fiddly task, but I do enjoy cutting out intricate images!). I mounted these (using 3D foam) onto a square of white card with brown and red mats. This was added to my 6"x6" white card blank with foam pads. The sentiment is also from the same set of digi stamps, and I mounted the square of white onto the same brown and red papers.




I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

I hope you are all having a good week. Luckily I am fully better now after my bug so it's full steam ahead with crafting! I'm so enjoying colouring at the moment, especially with my coloured pencils, and tomorrow I will share one of my makes using a pencil coloured image.

Today I'm sharing my samples made using the brand new Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils. I had such fun working with these pencils as I'd not used watercolour pencils in quite a long time, and these pencils were just a joy to use. This card uses one of the new FTLOS watercolour wonders stamp sets as well as some of the older FTLOS stamp sets for the butterflies and bees. I've also used one of the watercolour wonders stamp sets for this easel card I've used masking with one of the new watercolour wonders stamp sets to create this DL card. This card uses the FTLOS Fly Away With Me stamp set. I've used the FTLOS Up, Up and Away stamp set on this CAS card.   I've stamped the FTLOS Lovely Lilies onto kraft card for this card. This card has been made using the FTLOS Forget Me Nots stamps and the Blossoming Blues stamp set (for the butterflies).  I've heat embossed the Forget Me Not stamps onto kraft card wi
