Cactus Trio

I made this card in response to MFT"s Wednesday Sketch Challenge #493 and added a few additional embellishments such as the string and the mini flowers.  The dry desert scene with cacti in bloom makes a nice contrast, I think!

Supplies:  My Favorite Things Cacti, miscellaneous baker's twine, flower punch  and card stock.

Poppin' By with Balloons

This week's My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #492 uses balloons, the quintessential birthday decor, perfect for any age or gender!  I used some miscellaneous old stencils I had on hand from scrapbooking plus made a few of my own using my Cricut machine.

Supplies:  MFT Soda Pop sentiments, white embossing powder and pigment ink, Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Inks, a silver pen and random stencils.
