The One with the Mickey Cacti

Hello everyone.

Today I am using the Cacti Critters Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies as well as the Thinking of You Sentiment Die Set to create this project.

Visit the Time For Tea Design Shop and use code T4TKOREN10 for 10% off of your purchase.

The card size is A2 (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock. These two details about my cards rarely change.

Sentiment

I used the Time for Tea Designs Thinking of You Die Set and cut it from a piece of faux wood cardstock. This sentiment consists of four layers held together with liquid adhesive. The top layer is the wood. The lower three layers were simply cut from heavy weight white cardstock. The sentiment was adhered directly to the card panel with the same liquid adhesive after I was finished coloring the image.

Focal Images

The images from the T4TD Cacti Critters Stamp set are so adorable. When looking at the small stand alone cacti, I couldn't help but see Mickey Ears! So, I took some inspiration and ran with it. I stamped the largest image of the cluster of cacti directly onto the card panel with waterproof black ink. I also stamped the bunny holding the watering can onto another piece with the same black ink. I colored these images using my colored pencils. For the base of the planter. I stamped in onto the wood cardstock and paper pieced it onto the panel to give the planter the same wood look as the sentiment. The bunny image is popped up using foam squares.

Embellishments

There is only one embellishment on this card and it's a sweet bow on the bunny giving major "minnie vibes".

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Cacti Critters Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies as well as the Thinking of You Sentiment Die Set in the T4TD shop.
