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.
 Challenges Entered:The Paper Players: CAS Challenge- PP402
Sunday Stamps: Tranquil Cottage Colors- SSC183 
Addicted to Stamps and More!: Make Your Mark



Well, that should do it for me!! Thank you so much for stopping by and do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. I hope you all have a fantastic day and lots of good crafting vibes headed your way.

What a fabulous card Shawna! The white-on-white negative space of the brick wall is very effective and accentuates those cacti beautifully. CAS perfection!! Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week!
