This card has my husband written all over it. For today's WT challenge, I chose a picture of one of his many bloomin' cactus. The picture was taken in our backyard, which is an eclectic garden of beauty!
The stamped image was inspired by his many Mexican pots inside. So, put this image and photo together and it makes one fine card......don't you think?
Briefly, here is what I did:
Cut an oval out of the front of a white card, sponged edges. Put the picture behind the cut out. Cut oval out of dp, sponged edges then glued on front of card.
Stamped two images, colored them, cut them out. Popped one up on top of the other. Glued on dew drops. That's it.

You created a beautiful card around your picture. Love the stamped
clay pot and cactus. The colors you used are a perfect match for
the photo. So pretty.

Mighty fine I'd say Cathy! I nearly missed this one, you must have sneaked it in while I was asleep last night LOL! Love that cactus photograph and the addition of the clay pot/cactus stamp with that paper and sponging is a marvellous combination, it says desert to me! Your garden must be fabulous and your card definitely is. TFS
