Desert Cactus

 Hello Again, 

I played along in a couple of challenges- TGIF Challenges (sketch) and Color Hues.   


Here is the sketch I used~


I used a retired IO Stamps image, colored it with Copics and fussy cut it out.  I found a background in my stash using the Reverse Stencil Technique with Distress Inks.  

My little scalloped edge got lost in the whiteness of the photo so I tried again at a different angle~


The sentiment is from Creative Worship Stamps (formerly SnSS).  I added my usual SSS Moonshine Sequins for sparkle.  

I am also linking up to The Stencil Fun Challenge and Farmquest Challenge- things you would find in a desert. 

Thanks for visiting! 
Lee Ann
