Saguaro Cactus Blossom

Hello and Happy Tuesday.  Today I'm sharing a card created using the Gina K. Designs Stately Flowers #13 Stamp Set.  The set is new to me but not new to the Gina K. Shop.  There is a series of Stately Flowes and each set features flowers from around the USA.

I chose the lovely Saguaro Cactus Blossom image from the set; heat embossed and minimally colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  

I created the background panel using the Smooshing Technique with shades of blue Arteza Real Brush Markers and water.  Lastly, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, added faux gems and a bow.  


I didn't realized how pretty the Saguaro Cactus Blossoms are until I googled them in order to color them correctly.  Such beauty in the dry and dusty desert...another of God's lovely creations.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
