My sweet, kind and caring Canadian Friend, Cindy talked about these awesome warming socks all winter long. They kept her toes and feet warm during her runs in the frigid cold temperatures of Canada. She was not going to let COVID or the cold keep her from her training. Even though I'm in Arizona where it's much warmer, I've had the hardest time keeping my toes/feet warm. Cindy offered to send me a pair of her magical socks. I was all for sending her some money as I couldn't find them here or online. Instead of me sending her money, Cindy asked if I would mind creating a card in a cactus theme for her to display on her bookcase in her den that she was redecorating. She sent me photos of the pot that she got inspiration from for her redecorating and I of course took inspiration for it for my card.
I started off with the My Favorite Things Wonky Stitch Rectangular Stax Die-namics die cut on Neenah cardstock. I then used the MFT Small Brick Wall Stencil and SU Cherry Cobbler ink. Next I stamped the images from MFT Sweet Succulents stamp set with Memento ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics and used the coordinating die-namics to die cut them. I used pop dots to mount the cacti and Copics to ground them.
I made Cindy a thank you card for the socks she sent me. Knowing she was doing a cactus themed den, I of course had to make a cactus thank you card. Being that we met through a Tucson Tri Girl event and our color is purple...I wanted to make her card predominantly purple to remember her TTG friends by.
I started off by stamping the three cacti and pots on Neenah card stock with Memento ink, coloring with Copics. I then stamped the front two cacti and pots on Neenah with Memento ink, die cutting them with coordinating die-namics. I then colored them with Copics. I used pop dots for the front two. Then I used and art gun and SU markers to have a splatter effect on the card. I grounded the pots with copics. The sentiment is from the MFT PI Soldier Boy set. I die cut it with the MFT Essential Stitched Sentiment die-namic. I did a border in black with the MFT A2 Rectangle Frames.
Her socks arrived to me before I was able to get started on her card!
Super fast delivery! Mine took 3 weeks to get to her!
November 2018.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
