I am playing along in a couple of challenges using this awesome silhouette stamp from Technique Junkies.
The stamp is aptly named Desert Landscape Border. I lightly sketched in a sun and mountains; using Ken Oliver Colorbursts, I colored these areas in. Dick Blick currently has some of the best prices, if not the best price, on these watercolors right now. Lastly, I stamped the Desert Landscape Border image, doing a bit of masking to place the large saguaro cactus over the sun. I was able to do this with my MISTI. Everything at My Sweet Petunia (MISTI maker) is 25% off now through August 5th in celebration of their 5th birthday!
I got to see these cacti irl a couple of years back and am looking forward to traveling to Arizona again to see these kinds of landscapes again.
