I started out by stamping my images from Newton's Nook Cuppa Cactus in memento tuxedo black ink onto some scrap white card stock before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers. I then went and stippled some Stampin Up ink (garden green, apricot appeal, pumpkin pie) around my colored image before layering and adding brads then adhering it to my card base using pop up glue dots. After I had adhered my layered image, I decided I should have distressed the edges of the layers so I used a fingernail along the edge to distress it for me. After adding some thread along the side, I added some flowers punched from more scrap card stock using Ranger's Glossy Accents. The final touches were ice stickles in the center of the flowers and a black glitter gel pen highlighting the cactus spines before spritzing some garden green marker ink. I'm really happy with how this turned out since I made it while still dealing with a migraine.

Your card is so beautiful! Great way to use summer stamps for fall cards! I too love fall but summer is my favorite season and will miss seeing all the butterflies in my garden around my Zinnias.
