Warm and Cozy Christmas
Hero Arts Holiday 2015 release has stolen my heart! I am in love with the Texas-style Christmas cacti! So clever and perfect for those living where its warm all year round.
I used an awesome Merry Cactus to You stamp set and matching dies to create this simple card. I’ve already shared another card on my blog using this stamp set, there’s also a video, you can check it out here in case you missed it.
Like this project? Remember to pin it and save for later!
I stamped cacti images with Memento Tuxedo Blank ink and colored them using my Copic Markers. I also stamped a pot and and Santa hat using Fields Green and Red Royal inks and foam mounted those onto my A2 top folding card. I added a simple Have A Warm and Cozy Christmas sentiment and embellished this project using my all time favorite red metallic dots from Hero Arts.
