Today is my day to share a project on the Newton’s Nook Designs Blog.  I had not pulled out these fun little cacti to color in a while and I thought they might be perfect for a post today.  So Cuppa Cactus it is!

I colored the image using Copics and tried to use colors that had a bit of a southwest feel to them.  I decided that the “sticking by me” sentiment was perfect (from the Cultivated Cacti set).  I took a piece of the Wood Textures DSP (SU) and added some splatters of white craft ink then used a doily to ground the cactus.  I found this ribbon in my stash that matched the blue perfectly that I thought was a fun extra detail.  Finally, I added this sentiment and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I hope you like this fun card today.  Thanks so much for stopping in and I’ll see you soon!
