It’s April, and that means it’s time for a new release from Stampers Delights. You can find the entire April release here. This card uses a fun cactus from the Cactus Bundle digital stamp.
These cactuses have so much personality and they come with such fun puns! I needed an encouraging card and I thought the “You Are Looking Sharp” was the perfect sentiment for what I needed.
I wanted to have two cactuses encouraging each other–a fun cactus high five. I know there are many choices of cactus, but I wanted to show how easy it is with a digital stamp to mirror the stamp for two cactuses. These two cool cactuses don’t mind a prickly high five.
I colored them with Spectrum Noir and Copic Markers and masked them to sponge some sunshine behind them. Then I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the sunglasses and rocks to bring them to life. If you look closely, you’ll notice that this close up shot doesn’t have the “action lines” around their high five. I realized after I took this photo that I needed to draw those lines in. I don’t know about you, but I spot a lot of things that my cards need once I look at them through the camera lens.
