Janja is our Featured Stamper today and what a lovely gallery she has! I was inspired to case her potted Cactus card today. I used different dies - a darker background, washi tape instead of twine and made mine a retirement card.
I've had these cactus dies (Tim Holtz Village Landscape die) for a long time and seeing Janja's card inspired me to get it out! For the pots - I used Vogue Vase dies from PTI and cut off the tops of them to make them pots! I added a little rim to the top of each of them. I used Kraft Core-dinations paper and sanded the pots and cactus a bit to reveal the Kraft core. I die cut tiny flowers from Funky Floral #1 die (also Tim Holtz/Sizzix) and added one to each cactus along with an enamel dot center.
For my background I rubbed Fossilized Amber and Dried Marigold on my craft mat, spritzed with water and pounced my watercolor panel into the colors and dried with my heat tool.
I added a strip of washi tape to ground the pots and layered the smaller pot over the larger with foam dots.
