My 2nd son is getting married in July (on my husband and my anniversary ) and my girls and I are throwing a shower for my future DIL in a couple of weeks while my oldest DD us home for a friend's wedding. At the wedding they'll be using succulents as their flowers and they used a pretty Pinterest color combination with a deep Plum, burgundy,seafoam green and a light champagne and nude. I have been at a real loss to design shower invites but I'm running out of time so we're going with this!
I inked my stamp with 2 markers omitting the flower that was at the top of the right cactus arm. I drew in a top and added accents to natcg. The pot was inked with a Sahara marker. I scribbled markers on acetate and wet these to paint the cactus and pot. I stamped ny hearts. I went back with markers to add in lost details. The sentiments were inked first in Sahara then rolled lightly in Burgundy.

Well, with succulents for wedding decor I think the cactus makes a perfect shower invitation, Gail. At least you have the hearts to soften the spikes . And the rock and roll on the sentiments is really effective. I like the way you picked up on all the wedding colours in the plant pot, too.
