Ledges

Hello everyone!

Today I will be playing along with The Paper PlayersAddicted to Stamps and More! and Sunday Stamps. Here is my card for today, enjoy! 


This card reminds me of the fireplace in the house where I grew up.
Each stone was a different color but in this case, I decided to use the background of my card as negative space. The white on white leaves only texture and lets those cactuses pop!
Lots and lots of white space highlight the colors of the cactus.
The colors were inspired by Sunday Stamps.
There are two areas where I lifted the 'stones' to create a shelf for the cactus.
The cactuses were fussy cut from some patterned paper.
