February 17, 2023 - Prickley Pear Cactus Clear Stamp Set - CLR283

Hi crafty friends!  Kim here with a fun encouragement card that I created using the Prickley Pear Cactus Clear Stamp Set!   This stamp set is perfect for creating cards that I can send to friends having a rough time, or just to say "hang in there!"

I colored the cactus and the pot with Copic markers and I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.   I had a beautiful piece of digital paper already printed that worked perfectly.  I wanted to add some sparkle, so I covered the edges of a panel of card stock with some beautiful copper glitter washi tape.  Because the edges of the card stock are covered, I grabbed the first piece of card stock I saw, and it happened to be yellow... Didn't matter at all, as you can't see it.  I layered the washi panel and digital paper with some coral card stock and adhered them to a white card base.

I embossed the sentiment on a strip of card stock, and I adhered two prickley pear cactus brads to each side of the strip.  I adhered my focal image to the front of the card and popped the sentiment strip up on foam squares to leave room for the brads at the back. 

Lastly, I added a coordinating bow with a brad glued to the center of it.  

I love this card so much.  I have a friends that is going through a really rough time, so I think it will be perfect for her. 

Please make sure to head to the shop and check out this beautiful stamp set!
