This card came together surprisingly well, despite a small change of plan in the middle.
I really love the cactus stickers from Paperchase, however they are so tiny, it’s hard to know what to do with them for maximum effect.
I started by covering the front of card blank with some green check paper that I thought suited with the proportions of the stickers and then punched out 16 scalloped edged squares to put in the centre……
……. but when the cactus’s were added, it just looked too open and bitty, if you know what I mean …….. so I cut down the front of the card, and then mat and layered the resulting panel on white, silver and then white again before adding faux stitching, using a black fine liner pen around the last white layer.
I think the card came together at that stage.
A scattering of three black dots and a few doodled stars here and there complete the design.

Love your cactus card. I have a few cactus dies that I use from time to time, and I love them, too. It's a little tricky to figure out what kind of card to put them on. I did use one for a Valentine that said "I'm stuck on you!"
Your card look fantastic, so neat-it’s lovely.
