Cactus Christmas Warmth

  

 

Hello and welcome.  2nd post from me today.  If you're looking for my window kitty card, please scroll down one post.   

 

I decided to participate in this year's Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers linky hop, so I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using the Christmas Cactus Trio image from Pattie's Creations.  I added the sentiment myself using Photoshop© before printing it onto Neenah white card stock then colored using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled left over tumbled glass (from another project) distress ink around the image/saying to "soften" the white then layered and added faux brads.  Once all of that was done, I colored the white "fur" on the santa hats using a white gel pen before adding some bling, googlie eyes and diamond ice stickles to finish my card off.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.
