Color Challenge with desert option to use a circle
CAS Challenge - stamped some splatter for sand around the base of the cacti
Featured Stamper Challenge honoring Chris AKA fargets. The first card is super cute and it gave me the theme of cactus, which worked great to use the challenge colors.
Die-cut a circle on a post-it note and use it for a reverse mask. Stamped the cactus and some splatter for sand. I used the darkest green for the card base and sentiment.
Here in Arizona, our state flower, the Saguaro cactus blooms are in abundance right now. So I added some punched flowers to my cactus. Excellent challenges! Thanks for looking!

Wow, this card is beautiful! Not many other words I can use to describe it! Saguaro cacti with flowers are probably one of my faves! Pretty, pretty, pretty!!! And your CASE is wonderful! Haven't the cactus flowers just been beautiful this year? Enjoy going out every morning with my coffee to see what's new.

I love this Diane! I especially like how you took inspiration from the blooming cacti where you live and added flowers to your large cactus then. Great use of the color challenge colors and sponging in a wonderful circle too! You really took your inspiration from Chris's wonderful gallery and ran with it in this fabulous card Diane. ~Karen.
