Inspired By #112 - cacti


Before I even post my card, I'd bet you know exactly which set I'll use for today's Inspired By #112 prompt … go ahead and tell me if you're right!


MFT's Let's Stick Together has done it again!  Their little pots were cut from a really old Kaisercraft paper using the coordinating dies.  I picked up the MFT Mistletoe Cover Up die after Christmas... today I thought it made the perfect cacti-shaped shadows, with a bit of Shaded Lilac DOX on vellum.

No matter which cacti you use, we can't wait to see them 'stuck' in our gallery at IB#112!

  7. This MFT set was made for this challenge...all those little patterns on the cacti pots are perfect. Think my favorite, though, is how you shaded the vellum...genius.

  9. The cover up die looks great in the background and just goes to show you don't have to use it just for Christmas. Fun card and I so love those Cacti x.

  20. I love all of your cards using this stamp set, Michele! This one is again so adorable! The little pattern paper pots and the shape-matching mistletoe die-cut background add so much interest to the card. Coloring the vellum is a great idea too.

  23. I was totally inspired by Laurel's challenge photo this week - I went punny as opposed to cute,, but your sombrero wearing cacti have made me chuckle today Michelle! Love the vellum diecut piece behind too for a little background detail. Who would have thought cacti could be so sweet?!
