CAS324 Cactus Thanks

Photo Details

Poster: suen

I stamped the cactus and then used a technique shown by Maile Belles, awhile back. Stamped the bolder sentiment in smokey shadow and then several times more in soft stone. I framed it with limeade and placed it on the rustic white card base. This is for my sister and her hubby, who are looking in on our condo while we're not there and watering the cactus.

Terrific thank you card, Sue. I like the multiple stampings of the word and how it fades as you stamp along. The cactus is a cute bit of prickly fun.

What a cute little cactus! The repeated stamping of "thank you" makes a terrific background and I like your angled layers.

Great technique to stamp the sentiment in a lighter color in the bg!! This will be perfect for your cactus waterers ;)
