Our Teaparty this week, hosted by Pat (casep), is for Mary, who is recovering after chemo and surgery for cancer. Mary loves plants, especially succulents, so we are encourage to feature them on our cards to send Mary some cheer.
I am cheating a bit here, using some cacti images that were left over after I made another Teaport card back in May (I never toss any leftovers!). I am ashamed to admit that these are the only succulent stamps I have in my stash! Maybe I need to go stamp shopping.... :-)
The Rolling Marble Background is from my stash; I made quite a few of them a while back. They are handy to have on hand!
I hope my colorful cacti will bring a smile to Mary's face, and she won't mind a "cactus hug" as long as it's a paper one! TFL!

I love this bright and cheery card and hooray for using leftover bits! Don't be ashamed that you didn't have any succulent stamps, it's my challenge, and I didn't have any either. I had to order a set! Thank you so much for making a card for my dear friend.

Your scalloped ovals are perfect for showcasing your sweet cacti images! I love background techniques like the rolling marbles and your background really came in handy for this card.
