For today I am playing along with As You See It and Inspired By Challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

| Distressing the edges and around the cacti seemed appropriate for the design. The background paper is slightly distressed and it only seemed fitting the edges should be the same. The cacti were stamped and white embossed directly on the background. I then used Prismacolor pencil to lightly color in some base white color. Lastly, I went in with color. The white base helped make the colors stand out. |
 |
| The strips of paper were positioned per the sketch. I wanted to keep a southwest feel by using natural colors and geometric patterns that are often found in that area of the U.S.A. Sorry, no hives here. |

| A detail shot of the cacti showing the Prismacolor pencil color that was applied. I depict a bit of cartoonist shadow for my playful images. The glow around the cacti was treated the same as the border of the card. Light and medium gray tones show off the colors on the cacti. |
