Flowering Cactus Card

I decided to do something a bit different with my background on this card. I used the die from the Simply Succulents bundle and a bold colour choice with night of navy cardstock.

By pairing this with a subtle colour (Highland Heather), it creates a striking look, don’t you think?

The cactus images on this card are all cut from the DSP that comes in the Flowering Cactus bundle. The cute little felt flowers are also part of the same bundle.

I have left the inside of the card empty of a sentiment as I am not sure yet whether I will use it for a word of encouragement or a thank you or even for a birthday. Regardless of what it ends up as, it can still be made to look pretty!

Flowering Cactus Product Medley

Stampin’ Up! has this amazing bundle out now with papers, twine, stamps, dies and felt embellishments. I am so in love with it. It costs NZ$147 but is totally good value for money when you see what it includes. Also because Sale-a-bration is now on, if you purchase this bundle you will also get a free Sale-a-bration product of your choice.

The images on these papers can be die cut to make quick and simple cards like this one below.

For these little note cards, I Cased the catalogue and got my inspiration to make a softly sponged background.

I have a soft blending brush to give away to someone who leaves a comment on this post. I will choose a person to send this to, at the close of the sale-a-bration period. Please let me know what your thoughts are on the Flowering Cactus bundle.
